I'm saying the dominoes never would have fallen that way in the first place and I am surprised they needed to have as much cover-up as they did and that they resorted to murder to keep it covered up. We hear some of the stories of what private "security" has done in the mid-east and it makes me wonder how this was any worse than that. It would have been much more plausible, for this atrocity, for Crispin or Quinn to explain it as an accident. Maybe with incentives to keep Jeb quiet. The "intelligence" they were getting was garbage and maybe they were more concerned about that getting out than anything but that wasn't really explained enough for me to think that was it.

I suppose that the issue was that it happened within a British controlled territory within western Europe, and as the result of a not-officially-sactioned operation. Otherwise, yes, it could have played out like Blackwater in Baghdad; although even in that case, there have been legal proceedings and convictions.
