President Donald Trump added 20 pardons and commutations to his previous 45 on Tuesday, most of which pertained to his impeachment saga. But four names were largely an afterthought to those connected to Trump’s corruption: Paul Slough, Evan Liberty, Dustin Heard and Nicholas Statten.
These are the four Blackwater contractors who were convicted in the massacre of 14 Iraqis, including 2 children, in Baghdad’s Nisour Square in 2007. Liberty got life; the other three defendants got 30 years each. Nisour Square has been called the My Lai Massacre of Iraq, referring to the infamous 1968 slaughter of 347 Vietnamese civilians by a U.S. Army unit gone berserk.
