More than you ever wanted to know about Blackwater. |

http://home.hamptonroads.com/stories/story.cfm?story=69804&ran=196624http://home.hamptonroads.com/stories/story.cfm?story=69806&ran=206879The second link has information about the links between Blackwater, Amway, Alexander Strategy, Gary Bauer, and others. It is just unbelievable. Notice that the MSM is not covering Blackwater in depth--this is from a small, local newspaper.

2. So far, the details on these guys seem OK. Still, there is something |
|
unsettling about the whole thing. Biggest problem is the current lack of oversight, and pay discrepancy between them and our soldiers, and now police. I just hope the media can get a real close look at these guys in NO, without falling for any possibly staged stuff.

Luckily some non-MSM people have done some actual journalism.
