Blackwater

Well, I think I'm changing my view of Blackwater. Bob Bateman begins telling of his experiences with this graph:

I know something about Blackwater USA. This opinion is both intellectually driven as well as moderately emotional. You see, during my own yearlong tour in Iraq, the bad boys of Blackwater twice came closer to killing me than did any of the insurgents or Al Qaeda types. That sort of thing sticks with you. One story will suffice to make my point.

Go read the whole thing ... it's not long. It seems to be fairly illustrative of Blackwater's approach to security in Iraq.
