Every time I see the name Blackwater, I cringe.
The CEO and co-founder of Blackwater is the brother-in-law of the Republican wannabee governor for Michigan.
Posted by Sharon at April 29, 2006 08:00 PMI know the mother of a 24 yr. old who died when one of Blackwater's helicopters was shot down. He was selected for Blackwater while in the Marines. He felt that it was an honor to be chosen and an opportunity that he couldn't refuse.

Posted by herbal tee at April 29, 2006 08:52 PMwe have been sheep-dipping mercenaries for decades.
so have the brits. so have the french. apparently, even the canadians join in.
if you think blackwater is something new, you ain't been paying attention.
other merc contractors that we know of - sandline, dyncorp. and undoubtedly there are others.
30-40 years ago, ed wilson, frank terpil ran a merc op under the auspices of the office of naval intelligence.
20-30 years ago seals were training terrorists under the cover of marathon oil co at stornoway, at algeciras.
when jim jones took his acolytes to guyana, outside of georgetown, he invested a camp that had previously been used by amerikan specops[mercs] as a staging area for operations in the southern cone and west africa.
the evil empire and its allies run lots of mercs. and have for decades.

That sort of personal attack is still allowed here?
Is there any doubt in Sharon's comment? Is she wrong? If so, correct her mistake. If not, why allow the other comment. Can it be verified? Is it true? Has the other commenter proven that s/he is correct in her/his judgments of character or intellegence?
At least Bendito is gone.
Posted by Fivor at April 29, 2006 11:55 PMAfter taking the chimp to the woodshed from 10 feet away at the WHC dinner, Stephen Colbert will have Mercs, Fords and Lincolns after him.
Wow, what a reality truth check for the stuffed shirt power abusers. All it lacked was a child proclaiming Bush was naked, and Stephen the tailor being sent to Gitmo.

Posted by Sharon at April 30, 2006 07:08 AMBack in the good old days, when America was fearlessly battling godless Soviets in the Cold War, it was understood that anybody who disagreed with your politics had to be a communist.
Well, I don't think I'd rate as a communist, but I would enjoy fucking Bush's ass.
Posted by tempus at April 30, 2006 10:50 AMFrom the third paragraph of the linked article:
"The company and its secretive, mega-millionaire, right-wing Christian founder, Erik Prince..."
Nope. No axe to grind here. Simply dispassionate, objective reporting.
By the way, I just love the stuff that The Nation sells via its online store: you might even think that there is an agenda behind the merchandise.
And to Mary's post:
"...the horrific flattening of the city..."
Hardly the case. Read about the activities the US military engaged in before, during, and after going into Falluja.
"...the evil heart of this war and those who profit from it."
You might want to give at least a small nod to the evilness of the terrorists that killed the Blackwater people and the savages that dismembered and burned the bodies before hanging the remains from the bridge.
And now, a question: name one war that has not involved mercenaries on one side, the other side, or both.

[Editor: ignore=off]I don't think I've ever met an adult virgin male either. (Good thing I don't think of virginity as some kind of character quality.)
Posted by Sharon at May 1, 2006 07:19 AMExactly my thinking, Scout. We need to slap the shit out of women. I firmly believe that the one thing all abused women have in common is that they just don't listen. And don't even get me started on virgins. Too many of them lose their virginity to tampons. By god, if old towels and duct tape won't do, I say go without. Ands same sex marriage? An Abdomination, I tell you! There was never homosexuality until them Broke Back Mountain Hollywood liberal faggots invented it. Two same sex people loving each other is just fucking wrong. They need to stick to bath houses and one night stands. And that's just proof that AIDS is gods plague on faggots (although god must really love lesbians since they have the lowest incidence of AIDS in the population).
