to ultra-right wing groups like Blackwater? And, since they are not soldiers, but many are American, are not being counted as military casualties. In addition, Blackwater is making billions from our tax money all the while they aren't giving their soldiers benefits for their work or to their families if they are killed in action. They are linked to Abu Graib tortures, Guantanomo torture, and the torture of many many innocent Iraqies. They don't have to answer to the American people or our government for their actions because they are considered a private business. They were used in post Katrina New Orleans and were allowed to shoot to kill if anyone questioned what they were doing.
