After the Kinani family’s son was killed in a Blackwater shooting in Iraq, they were offered $10,000 in restitution from the U.S. Embassy. The family finally accepted the money on the condition that half of the amount would go to the relatives of a U.S. soldier killed during the liberation of Iraq. Watch or read the story on Democracy Now! It’s heartbreaking.
