In October, the Army plans to station an active unit inside the US for the first time to serve as an on-call federal response in times of emergency. The division will be under the control of US Army North. The Army Times says this mission is the 1st time an active unit has had a dedicated assignment to Northern Command. The unit may be called to help with civil unrest & crowd control. Soldiers are learning to use "nonlethal" weapons designed to subdue unruly or dangerous individuals and crowds.

Erik Prince "crosses the Rubicon". I am glad there are reporters like Scahill who notices and has the guts to report and speak out against it. I wouldn't want Erik Prince to think I was an enemy of his. I wonder what all those mercenaries will be called on to do once they return from Iraq ?

The "abuse" they ... ( 1 year ago by wskytngo)
The "abuse" they committed was being a private citizen patrolling the streets of an American city. That's a job for the National Guard or Police in the case of a disaster, not effing Black Water, or regular army troops. Consult your copy of the constitution, maybe that will help you figure it out.
blackwater guards ... ( 1 year ago by stangmike666)
blackwater guards and other "mercenaries" dont go to iraq and afghanistan to do missions like our military. their purpose is to protect diplomats,vips, provide security for convoys. when they are not in iraq or afghanistan they are protecting vips and other diplomats around the world,regardless of what the media makes them out to be they are not a bunch of wild cowboys who think they are above the law.

Yeah, and it also didn't speak of the fact that MERCINARIES such as those working for Blackwater are not trained to respect the constitution, so they pose a threat to democracy and might do unwarranted searches, and they have immunity so they can do whatever they want, and 90 % of Blackwater's income comes from US tax payers, which is retarded because its taking money from the poor and giving to the rich

They are "military contractors" as well as bodyguards etc. Go ahead and google, military contractors in iraq and see what yuou find.
You will find that as of Aug 18 2008 there were 19,000 private military contractors in Iraq!
A mercenary is a person who takes part in an armed conflict who is motivated to take part in the hostilities essentially by the desire for private gain...

Maybe Erik Prince should run FEMA!! I guess you cant hire private security any more. Scahill made it sound like the NYPD guys did not care that Blackwater was there.

it seems that the only time that black water could truely be deemed a threat to anybody, ally or enemy, is if martial law was enforced. If that happened. There would be no stopping them.

It's not just the fact that Blackwater mercenaries obviously have guns: The scariest part is how large the corporation is and how vast its subsidiaries are, and how coincidentally the reasons the entire war in Iraq were completely false and misleading. And nothing's been done about it to this day! That is some hardcore lobbying.
The thing is though ... ( 1 year ago by SPCkeith)
The thing is though when obama declares martial law I think he will find the amount of takers a bit lack luster. the local PD has said they will not fire on American citizens other then the young weak minded kids in the military I doubt they will go for it. and blackwater being 99.9% former and retired military I doubt they will too. Why am I so sure they won't take up arms for the gov against us? because most of them know that we are just as if not more armed then they are.
