This is so sad. Some drunk idiot takes someone's life...I hope he is held accountable!

Yes it is sad...I just want to know more, the article does not provide enough info.

Well, the fact that he was extremely drunk is enough for me to think badly of it.
The article does give some scary numbers for Blackwater.

Whoever owns Blackwater, Xe as its called now is bad at choosing company names. I would never trust a company named "Blackwater" it sounds suspicious to me....and now they changed it to the chinese(?) name Xe....pronounced zee...whatever that one means and are they trying to get into China now because of the name change???

AA or something And "Blackwater" That just blow's my mind

Drunk people with guns. Reminds me of the town I grew up in in Texas. Though we never shot anything worse than mailboxes and stop signs

Blackwater was previously owned by an ex-navy seal name Erik Prince. He's a money hungry deamon like the rest of them and for those of you who don't know what Blackwater USA is... Check it out on youtube... I'll provide you with a couple good links in case you just get to the glamour part...

Here is some of the lates on what USED to be Blackwater USA but is now Xe and WHY they changed their name and went under a different ownership.

By doing this... the people will have nearly an IMPOSSIBLE time prosecuting them for the crimes that they committed... THis is how Corp. AmeriKa works and this is what we all must fight against!

ANything with Jeremy Scahill is good because WOW... that guy KNOWS HIS STUFF!

They aren't JUST going into China... THey are going GLOBAL just like everything else is... They are opening operations all over the globe now but as far I as know for sure, Erik Prince has sold out of it. Or at least that's what they want you to think anyway...

I know that the move came bcause they were getting themselves in SERIOUSLY DEEP DOOKIE for being a cold blooded mercenary group and killing the innocent without blinking an eye...

Look for Bush's stupid response when asked a question by a reporter about Blackwater USA... It's sickening but hilarious at the same time...

THIS SITE IS A FUCKING JOKE!!!!

I wonder if they had a cost plus contract with the U.S. military in Iraq.

They are deleting my comments as well. Doesn't bother me much though, I know the truth is getting to a vast majority of the American people and they are starting to wake up to whats going on. I'm good with that...
