When prosecuting the 'war on terror', the administration doesn't let niggling details like whether what they are doing is legal or constitutional (or moral or proper for that matter) slow them down. But when it comes to investigating private guards suddenly they have to be sure there really is a law that covers these guys before they can do a thing.
Quoted: Agents investigating the Sept. 16 episode in which Blackwater personnel shot and killed 17 Iraqi civilians found that all but three of the shootings were unjustified, officials said.

The Iraq war costs about $12 billion a month. For perspective, the bailout is estimated at $700 billion.
She said they took the Bush administration’s 2008 request for war funding – $196-billion – and divided it by 12 to get a monthly cost. That works out to $16-billlion for both wars and about $12-billion just for the Iraq portion.

Clearly mark all Fire Fighter parking spaces with this easy to use plastic stencil. Ideally sized to fit in a standard 8-foot (96”) wide parking space, this stencil lays flat and is easy to paint with any inverted marking spray paint, one shot ink roller (link) or commercial spray gun. (always practice on cardboard or other surface before direct application). We suggest only purchasing this stencil 10 mil thickness and higher. The 7.5 mil plastic is thinner and generally used for indoor applications. For heavy repeated use try the 40 mil ultra flex stencil material. This thicker stencil material is especially good to work with if there is a slight breeze when spray painting is taking place.
