Grisly killing in Iraq leads to lawsuit (Families suing Blackwater)

Families of the civilian contractors killed, burned and strung up on a bridge last March in a grisly display seen round the world are suing the N.C.-based security company that hired them.

The suit says the four men weren't properly armed or trained for their mission in one of Iraq's most dangerous regions. It blames executives of Blackwater USA, headquartered in northeastern North Carolina, for cutting corners to increase profits.

"They knew that they were sending them into the center of Fallujah with very little chance they would come out alive," says the lawsuit, filed Wednesday in state civil court in Raleigh.

Sorry, but I have no sympathy for these families. Frivolous lawsuit?
