Prosecutors focus on Blackwater case: report

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. prosecutors have sent letters to six Blackwater Worldwide security guards, possibly as a prelude to indictments for a shooting incident that killed 17 Iraqi civilians in September, The Washington Post reported in its Sunday editions.

The newspaper, citing three sources close to the case, said prosecutors still are considering evidence after a 10-month FBI investigation of the shooting, which broke out as Blackwater guards escorted a U.S. State Department convoy through Baghdad.

Report: US using 'money as a weapon' in Iraq

A U.S. Army program in which soldiers pay cash to Iraqis to help with expenses, large and small, has spent $2.8 billion in five years, The Washington Post reported Monday.

The Post reviewed records of the Commander's Emergency Response Program, which was intended for short-term humanitarian relief and reconstruction. The field manual laying out the guidelines for the program is called 'Money as a Weapon System,' pointing up the effectiveness of cold hard cash in winning over the hearts and minds of Iraqi civilians.

FBI to NY Times: Sorry about your phone records

FBI Director Robert Mueller has apologized to the editors of The New York Times and The Washington Post for improperly obtaining phone records of the newspapers' reporters while investigating terrorism four years ago.

Mueller called Post Executive Editor Leonard Downie Jr. and Times Executive Editor Bill Keller on Friday to express regret that agents did not follow proper procedures in 2004 when they obtained the phone records of a Post reporter, a Post researcher and two Times reporters. All four were working in Indonesia and writing about Islamic terrorism at the time.
