A lawsuit against government contractor Blackwater Worldwide accuses its bodyguards of ignoring a direct order and abandoning their post shortly before taking part in a shooting in Baghdad that killed 17 Iraqi civilians.

If 1/4 of Blackwater "guards" use some kind of mind altering drug it means at least 25% of them have a soul. The killing must bother them a little. From a certain angle, in a special light it could be viewed as a positive in a general human sense.

Maybe too much of a stretch?
