Blackwater's exploits become murkier: Four American contractors who worked for Blackwater were killed in Fallujah. After Blackwater refused to share information about why their loved ones were killed, the families were told they would have to sue Blackwater to find out.
The four non-military American security contractor victims were burned, beaten, dragged through the streets of Fallujah and their decapitated bodies hung from a bridge in 2004. While asking for answers from Blackwater how this tragedy could've happened, Blackwater has turned the tables on the families by trying to sue them for $10 million to keep them quiet.
