My point that is if an executive who can prevent a crime, does nothing with knowledge a crime is occurring, then they are culpable morally if not legally.

That's an entirely different argument than you presented before. Now you're talking about to what extent a state's figurehead should be held liable, legally or morally, for the misconduct of a government-contracted private mercenary force.
I'm talking about your previous post, where you stated that allegations of misconduct against Blackwater are necessarily false, precisely because Blackwater has yet to be held liable for any misconduct by the United States government's executive branch.
Simplified, this is the "___ never happened, because ____ would have punished them for it" argument.
According to this theory, insider trading and stock fraud never occured.. The SEC would've shut them down!
Contaminated food products are never hit the shelves of grocery stores, the USDA would've shut them down!
Are you seriously that daft?
