Immunity Not!

Firedoglake - Firedoglake weblog: "There has been some kinda crazy talk floating around the MSM that State Department investigators somehow conferred immunity on Blackwater mercenaries in the course of questioning them. Without commenting on whether or not the word “immunity” was ever used in any conversation let me tell you that as a matter of law, it would be impossible for that to be true.

You see for statutory immunity to be conferred—YOU NEED A COURT ORDER. Immunity is not some causal thing that you can accidentally or carelessly sprinkle about like pocket lint..."
