Blackwater: From the Nisour Square Massacre to the Future of the Mercenary Industry
The private military firm Blackwater has gone from being a relatively unknown contractor working in Iraq to a household name and the subject of multiple investigations, lawsuits and congressional inquiries. In the meantime, the company continues to reap millions of dollars in profits and was recently awarded a new contract from the State Department. Last year, Democracy Now! correspondent and Nation Fellow, Jeremy Scahill, published his book Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army. The book quickly landed on the New York Times bestseller list and helped frame the debate that was to come. With the book's paperback release in a thoroughly revised and updated edition, Jeremy Scahill joins us for the hour. [includes rush transcript]
It is sickening ! A country that pretend to be just and free, paying hitmans, to take over another country resource, can only be run by the devil him self. Only evils can still be proud of the great USA. Not to long ago, I also was deceived by the evils that really run the US (the corporations that are selling democracy, that is in reality corporacracy )

Basically, Blackwater are responsible for the escalation of resistance in Iraq.
A Blackwater official using Dept of State stationary to convey false information is in itself a crime, they won't get away with, not for long anyway.

Blackwater writing State Department press releases. You know why don't we just hand the fuckin' USA over to the corporations at this point. For fuck's sake! This is insane!
