 ratilfar says: Of course the US government was blind to this - they didn't want to know, they turned a blind eye to what Blackwater was doing because it would have been too hard to arrange for another contractor to do all the security missions that it had ongoing. In both Iraq and Afghanistan, there are as many private contractors as there are uniformed military personnel. Most of them are not security guards as Blackwater's most visible function was. The lack of oversight is abhorrent but not surprising; the State Dept's failure to can this company is inexcusable. My only observation on this article is to suggest how the US government got into this predicament, and it's pretty easy to see. The Bush administration wanted to hold onto the fiction of a few conservative principles, one of those being the concept of a small federal government. Since it already blew that "principle" with the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, I'm betting there was White House guidance that directed "no mo Hi ratifar! In this case I disagree ! Or maybe I understood wrong? What principles do you mean? Bush had any principles besides doing wrong, lie and betray people? They hired a private army for doing wrong and not for the security of the ministery (as they said official): http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/E1AB65A3-5498-464B-92FE-900BF70A91F4/ Otherwise they had used any US special forces. It is like middle ages, a country declares war and the half of the troops are private mercenaries, who get 10 times the sold of the regulary army! Why? OK - those who serve for the tenth part of the mon ey without liberty for moths as a part of a war machine, won't get the mercenary-job ....that's anothe... Hi ratifar! In this case I disagree !

Blackwater, now called Xe, should have lost the contract years ago when the sex trafficking came to light.
