Sorry it's *nsfw, but I went back and fixed it.

Great Stuff, here is the article that goes with it

Two things:

Blackwater - why didn't they called themselves HappyFunShooters or something, rather than a name that sounds like TheIcyBlackHandOfDeath?

With regards to New Orleans, isn't there some sort of law that states you can't use soldiers as cops since soldiers are trained to kill and cops are trained to uphold the law?

OK neat but lots of unsubstantiated facts, wild guesses, and one scene of them operating in Iraq on a roof...

unsubstantiated? The gov't will not release an information about it. where are your tax dollars going?

I'm not sure if these guys are blackwater though, same source of funding I am sure
