US attorney's office helps Al-Qaeda by arresting two former Blackwater contractors on murder charges in the shootings of two Afghans last year. Justin Cannon, 27, and Chris Drotleff, 29, were charged with second-degree murder, attempted murder and weapons charges. Both men said that they were justified in shooting at a car that caused an accident and then turned and sped toward them. The Center for Perpetual Diversity is opposed to contractors being in a war zone. It greatly increases the cost of the war. It must be very demoralizing for a soldier or contractor to know that his government will turn on him so quickly if a mistake is made.
