The Nation:
Blackwater and the Khost bombing
For files.
QUOTE
It’s just astonishing that given the track record of Blackwater, which is a repeat offender endangering our mission repeatedly, endangering the lives of our military and costing the lives of innocent civilians, that there would be any relationship,” Schakowsky said.
“That we would continue to contract with them or any of Blackwater’s subsidiaries is completely unacceptable.”

For files. More on CIA people killed. Nauseating.
They were war criminals. The drone campaign is patent war crime.

The same argument used to justify the Contractor revolution in foreign affairs — “We need Contractors because the Pentagon et al can’t fight all our wars” — will be used in American cities as the current money crisis expands. California and New York.
Three years hence.
