Blackwater Rebrands as Academi- Wants Back in Iraq
Loading...
Uploaded by TheAlyonaShow on Dec 12, 2011
A US presence in Iraq is far from over. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Ted Wright, the President and Chief executive of what used to be known as Blackwater, and then turned into Xe Services, had a big announcement that they're changing names yet again, this time to Academi. Wright hopes with the new name, and demand for contractors in Iraq surging, they've hired an outside company to help them apply for a new operating license. So how will Iraq handle a new surge of contractors? Scott Horton with Harper's Magazine weighs in.

Few if any ever make the Eric Prince, Dick DeVos (Amway) brother in law connection. Money and Christian fanatics = Greed, their god given right to do what ever it takes.
Jeromy Scahill is the expert on "Blackwater" or whatever Eric pretends to be know.

You can change names all you want, a mass-murdering, war profiteer company ain't gonna shed its reputation with a name change.

It will probably work...they've rebranded twice now. Who can keep up? It's too hard. Brain hurts.

@alphacause Exactly.

Iraqi oil should be nationalized, I don't want to see my country's resources being pumped out of it by some profit-hungry corporation.

Blackwater, or whatever they choose to call themselves now, is indicative of what is wrong with our military policy. Our military policy is not driven by defending America, which is what, in principle, it should be driven by. No, instead our war policy is being driven by a need to manufacture circumstances that keep war profiteers employed - whether that is Halliburton, Lockheed, Boeing, or Blackwater. Defending life isn't our objective. Defending profit is.
