Blackwater runs like a temp staffing service. They don't technically work "For Blackwater" they're working for various Blackwater clients.

How interesting as a mentality. When it suits our purposes we will follow the letter of the law rather than the spirit of it!
Of course this ability is restricted in many jurisdictions. In Australia, a temp company is under the same obligation as an employer when it comes to taxation and retirement mandatory payments made by the company rather than the employee.
I am amazed, that since a stated aim of Blackwater is to provide goons, guns for hire, mercenaries etc., all unlawful combatants under the Geneva convention definition, that as a company they have not be declared a terrorist organization. Something that they indubitably are!
The place of their executives and employees/sub contractors is in Guantanamo Bay, or similar places, imo.
