independent reaction to the story

I've now had the opportunity to ask a few friends whether they watched 4C's last night and what was their impression of the story.

Thankfully, they overwhemingly felt that it was a "bit rough" to blame the company for the conduct of the soldiers, and they also raised issues like - well what would they be expected to do, and how could they refuse.

The major negatives they highlighted - were the relationship with the gov't official and the concept of profiteering (I set them straight on that part)

It was good to get an independent slant from others. Has anyone else gauged reactions from non-anvilites?

PS - I'm sure that S&G wanker last night on the 4C's forum admitted that the company would be very near impossible to sue, and that they would only be pursuing individuals they felt had a role to play in the deaths. Anyone else pick up on this??
