I wonder if the Pentagon used our tax money to pay for this secret settlement since the government does not want any general investigations into the Falluja massacre and war crimes by the US military
Families of four US men killed in a notorious ambush in Iraq in 2004 have settled a long-running lawsuit with the security firm they worked for.
The four employees of Blackwater, which has since been renamed Academi, were shot, beaten and burned to death in the flash-point city of Falluja.
Two of their bodies were hung from a bridge in an act which shocked America and triggered an assault on the city.
Blackwater was accused of exposing them to high risk without proper protection.
The confidential settlement announced on Friday ended the families' efforts to secure a public investigation into the killings.
