Blackwater (now Xi)
The military contractor CACI International is seeking legal costs from four Iraqi prisoners who unsuccessfully sued the company for their torture at Abu Ghraib. One of the plaintiffs, an Iraqi farmer, alleges he was caged, beaten, threatened with dogs and given electric shocks during more than four years in U.S. detention. But a federal judge dismissed the case in June, citing the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision to restrict lawsuits under the Alien Tort Statute against corporations for abuses on foreign soil. Based on that ruling, the website CommonDreams.org reports that CACI has now filed a lawsuit demanding that the four Iraqis hand over $15,000 to cover the firm's legal fees.
