We don't need Blackwater in America.

Blackwater is a blight on our democracy.

Anyone or any organization that makes money from war should be treated as criminals.

That is not nearly as much trouble as I would have them in. Their criminal acts demand investigation and with the renewal of their contract with Iraq, I don't see how it is happening.

I KNEW that when Blackwater abandoned its proposal to buld a facility in Potrero, that there was some other, possibly better for them, worse for the rest of us, way they would pop back up into the public limelight.

The entire private paramilitary industry in America is a national disgrace. Let them go find another way to suck money out of the U.S. taxpayer.

All wars should be financed with no profit motive. Cost only. That would result in a lot less wars.

30 years ago when I lived in San Diego the place was as far right and militaristic as you could get. Maybe the fires (from God, of course) did teach them a thing or two! Good for you San Diego, a conscience suits you well! Blackwater will one day take it upon themselves to usurp the military and/or the Border Patrol or the National Guard. Mercenaries for profit operating in America should simply scare the shit out of every person in America! Look what the financial institutions have gotten away with, or oil corporations, and then add guns, grenade launchers, artillery and helicopters.

i was listening to right wing radio a few months back after the blackwater incident in Iraq and one of the PR from blackwater was talking to the right wing host.

blackwater PR was "explaining" that it was the Iraqis fault because their employee was only defending themselves against the terrorist and how blackwater is really a source for good because if it haven't been for bill Clinton who destroy the military by decreasing it size and recruitment than there would be no need for blackwater.

if bill Clinton haven't destroy the military than Bush and Cheney wouldn't demand the patriotism of blackwater to serve their country in Iraq.

the blackwater PR guy also said that they are their to protect the government their even though some of them are corrupt. and that the only reason why the Iraqis government want blackwater gone is because some of the politicians are corrupt individuals who wants to get rid of patriotic American who is there to protect them from the terrorist.

I realized that blackwater have absolutely no shame whatsoever and that their goals is to make money while accusing anyone who disagree with them as corrupt individual extremist.

Blackwater don't deserve an ounce of American tax dollars for their profiteering lifestyle especially when they blame everybody for anything that they did wrong.

After reading "Blackwater" by Jeremy Scahill we need to be much more observant with regard to this paramilitary organization have the means and the manpower to overcome a government. Very scary indeed.

On January 20th, Bush and Cheney's planes should stop at Levenworth, and those two pigs (along with Eric Prince) should be left there, until they pay back all the money given to Blackwater. Fuck mercenairies.

Matt is a hell of a blogger but 'Bonehead Bowers' not so much. Please don't link to those who support Kos's one man assault on women politicians everywhere. The 'Boys on the Blogz' are not progressive and they sure as hell are not very smart to think they can build a progressive political movement in this country without women which is what their support of Obama is turning out to be.

OpenLeft is another site 'assimilated' by the Oborg.

You'd be well advised to protect yourselves here against infestation.

They will not even fight fare, they use Iraq's for target practice, seen many of heads blown of just for being in the wrong place.

They won't be satisfied until they have Blackwater facilities
on every corner of the country. I'm telling you people...we're
next on their list. Remember New Orleans...they were there
strutin' their shit! Never forget and be prepared!

Blackwater is a Hit squad for the RIGHT WING (Republicans) They go around and shoot up people . Then they all go to church on Sunday, Just like the KKK did in the south after hangings. Right Wingers have to have someone fight for them because they are all draft dodgers
