DOJ moves toward charges in Blackwater shooting.

The Washington Post reports that federal prosecutors “have sent target letters to six Blackwater Worldwide security guards involved in a September shooting that left 17 Iraqi civilians dead, indicating a high likelihood the Justice Department will seek to indict at least some of the men, according to three sources close to the case.” A final decision “on whether to indict may not be made until October, about a year after the incident.”
