It looks really bad for democracy promotion when Blackwater falls into a legal loophole and can’t be prosecuted while people seem to be stuck in Guantanamo.

It does look very bad indeed. The USA have done a major damage to the global image of liberal democracy. I think that one day, some Iraq colonel will just snatch 20 Blackwater employees at random, line them against the wall and pull the trigger twenty times. That should be the end of the Blackwater immunity in Iraq.
