    Blackwater - A Deep Hole

    Tuesday, September 18, 2007, 06:39 AM [General]

    So the Blackwater mystery is about to blow up. This group was hastily formed to make a fortune off the Iraq war and it has - protected by the DOD every time it's overbilled the government or been charged with extra-legal activities.

    Anticipate congressional hearings and lots of press coverage, the kind we should have had for years about this under the radar operation, supplying private forces to augment the US's strapped military. I"m not sure Mailki will ultimately kick them out of Iraq, as he's threatened to do. After all, they protect all the diplomats and travelling senators as they whisk into the Green Zone to see little and do nothing. Should be fun to see everyone squirm as they defend, defuse and obfuscate.
