I'd like to see a law firm in the US representing the Iraqis shot at suing Blackwater. I'd *love* to see Bush & Co. claim executive privilege in this arena, because they'd be itching to.
The current SCOTUS would probably uphold it. Which would be fine, because we could start impeaching them.
Maybe. It seems there was a law passed in 2000(?) which was meant to cover some of that gap (and this before the war). But it's not being used, and may be flawed.
What I heard about this law was that PMCs operating with US forces would be subject to UCMJ. If that's the case, the State Dept. contractors would still be home free.
