  Posted by SoxFirst
  After its involvement in the shooting of 17 Iraqi citizens last year, a criminal investigation by the FBI, internal investigations by the State Department and the Pentagon, and high-profile Congressional hearings, the people at Blackwater walk free with reports that it won't face criminal charges.

  Posted by Beatleboy from Scholarsandrogues.wordpress
  Blackwater's Erik Prince is making the rounds of MSM talk and interview shows to burnish Blackwater USA's image even as more negative evidence emerges about the shooting of Iraqi civilians by the company's security guards.

- More Elite Than Our Millitary?
  Posted by Villagenyc
  Why are United States taxpayers paying the private military and security firm Blackwater, $1,222 a day for the services of each of its single protective security specialist? By most estimates that amount is six times what it would cost for a U.S. soldier to perform the same duty.

Mercenary Outfit Send Mass Email Offering Positions in the Wake of Gustav

One of the many tragedies of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina three years ago was the fact that insurance companies used the event to systematically deny claims, leaving victims further in desperate straits. That shouldn’t happen following any natural disaster, and even though the immediate storm effects did not cause as much damage as predicted, there are sure to be plenty of claims for flood damages throughout the Midwest and along Gustav’s path. If you or someone you know has been denied an insurance claim related to Gustav: http://www.gustav-insurance-claim-denials.com/ that would be a site you should visit.
