They Voted For You: Blackwater

All of West Virginia's U.S. House members -- Reps. Alan Mollohan, D-1st, Shelley Moore Capito, R-2nd, and Nick Rahall, D-3rd -- voted for a measure Thursday "to require accountability for contractors and contract personnel under Federal contracts, and for other purposes."

As The Associated Press reports, the bill "would make all private contractors working in Iraq and other combat zones subject to prosecution by U.S. courts," and is "the first major legislation of its kind to pass since a deadly shootout last month involving Blackwater employees."

The "MEJA (Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act) Expansion and Enforcement Act of 2007" passed 389-30.
