The story here is not really about drunken mercenaries shooting each other. Give us more of that. The screaming story is that this is the first westerner to be convicted in an Iraqi court since the botched invasion and occupation in 2003. This despite the hundreds of deaths of mainly ordinary Iraqis (at checkpoints and elsewhere) which the mercenaries have perpetrated. It is an eloquent testiomony to the crass contempt the US led (by the nose) Coalition have always had for Iraqi lives and communities. Fitzimmons should rot in jail but there should be a large number of his colleagues sharing the accommodation with him.
