We already talked about this and I provided a link on another thread, and you still keep posting that BS comment Dizzy and never refuted what I had said about this int he first place. I would have to ask if there is anything YOU are knowledgeable about with this specific subject.

Blackwater was put together as a company during the Clinton administration (merely coincidence), the sole purpose was to work with police and military organizations that needed special training...they were filling a need in the training end for all entities. This was TRAINING the Pentagon hired them for...they had facilites and money to do this, not DEPLOYMENT

...they got hired to DEPLOY ACTUAL PERSONNAL DURING THE BUSH ADMINSTRATION...again, get this straight Diz, your comment is totally superfluous in this discussion. But, thanks again for trying to divert the thread to I HATE CLINTON---it did not work again Diz. (oh brother...)

Default Unlawful combatants?

Blackwater is a rogue paramilitary organization that operates inside a sovereign country under no jurisdiction, laws or rules except their own solely for the purpose of making money for themselves and the company.

As I have said, there is no successful track record of a private contractor who provides a 'security force' getting the job done to the satisfaction of the governments involved. They just become 'mercenary rat holes' you throw money into.

Sam, the main thing that several studies found is the loyalty is only to money making when the job that needs to be done is an undistracted loyalty to a country, government, or indigenous people (to protect them, a truly humanitarian mission). Mercenary forces date all the way back through the Crusades and beyond, in no way do they have an obligation as a humanitarian force of protection. It is exactly the wrong thing to provide in this situation.

I did. 2002.

Fucken wikipedia. It will be a contested aritcle now. Changed that quickly.

regardless Nowhere has such an hiring been cited. And even it did. It still the differnce between rent-a-cops and hired moercs The Jordan summit is not in question as thats elsewhere then just wikipedia. There Blackwater made the colsicitaion for Brigade Strenght units for sale. There inclusion of Helicopters and Armored cars is NOT in question either. That equipment was not in play in 5 or more years ago. So either way the differnce is clear. Guards versus mercs.

Just one more bit of evidence that Iraq is NOT a humanitarian effort in the administration's eyes....but they have fooled many into believing so.
