Capt. Kincy Clark with 2005 photo showed a Blackwater helicopter releasing CS gas at a checkpoint in Baghdad.
Blackwater, known for it's delicate and diplomatic handling in the Iraq War, dropped CS gas over a Baghdad checkpoint back in May of 2005.
Only 1 problem.
Our American soldiers were there:
“This was decidedly uncool and very, very dangerous,” Capt. Kincy Clark of the Army, the senior officer at the scene, wrote later that day. “It’s not a good thing to cause soldiers who are standing guard against car bombs, snipers and suicide bombers to cover their faces, choke, cough and otherwise degrade our awareness.”
