My thinking is that the 'Blue Hand' chaps are saying that River killed everyone, which would provide more fuel to the warrant out for her arrest and would provide good cover for them hunting her and putting out a huge reward for her capture.
After all, who's left around to disagree...
I think the method they were killed would raise a lot of suspicion. If someone, not the BH guys, started telling everyone that a young girl killed all these trained security guys by bleeding them to death, it would raise a lot a questions. It might put more attention on River and how she got the ability to kill with her mind, than they would want.
On the other hand...it would make some people shoot first and ask questions later.

That's what I always assumed. Consider the fact that she was in the super-secret school and combine that with the fact that she's a reader, there are all kinds of things she could know that they wouldn't want anyone to hear.
In "Safe" is when River is kinda-sorta describing her mental condition and memory she says (among other things) that "there are secrets". I always wondered what those secrets were.

The only bug with River telling them something, anything is that the BHC didn't even ask or clarify or bother to find out what River actually said. You talked to her? Zap!

Easy.
They represent Fox in the Firefly Universe.

Somehow I don't have much of a problem believing that insidious corporations that torture little girls and warp their minds for their own ends would have much of a problem killing people who they suspected of having information they didn't want them to have even if they weren't 100% sure.
Plus, if BH started asking questions about it the person they were asking might very well think again about whatever gibberish River was spouting and try to find some significance in it or figure out why it's so important since, obviously, the BH think it is. Then you'd have to kill them, anyway. So in a sort of twisted way killing them as soon as you find out that they spoke to her at all is like a time-saving measure.
Also, the fed specifically said that he only talked to the prisoners enough to process them and the BH still seemed to think that was enough to warrant killin'.
I just sort of took as a "take no chances" type of thing.

Whoa man! I'm really sorry! I didn't mean you, of course, 'BlackStar' being a pretty cool username. Again, I sincerely apologize; I never intended to step on anyone's toes here.

Well, what if she could? Do the wands mimic some sort of physical damage that River actually CAN inflict, but never does (in the show, at least). We know that she has some form of mind-reading ability, and is an incredible markswoman (from 'War Stories'), even with her eyes closed and head turned away. Who really knows what she's capable of? (Joss Whedon probably does, so there's someone.) Another question to ponder is did this Academy/torture chamber place's experiments fail with River and turn her into "damaged goods", so to speak, or do they need to get her back in order to finish whatever they were doing to her? Maybe River is a weapon that isn't perfected or fine-tuned yet, instead of a failure that needs to be swept under the proverbial rug. Just imagine what she could be turned into...now that is a scarier concept of a warped human being than Niska's unrestrained sadism.
