Re: Blackwater in a time of peace

It is a large organization, in a business that has a history of attracting both professionals and some rotten apples. I'm sure the truth is more grey than it is black or white.

I totally agree. I've never once said that every contractor Blackwater uses was perfect and moral. Some of these guys are downright horrible people. But, first off, sometimes that is exactly what is required, and secondly, just because you have a few bad apples doesn't mean the entire organization is corrupt.
I've done some work in private security, mainly in the armored truck business, and I can tell you even doing armored trucks we had some real "cowboys". It takes time to weed them out, but eventually they do.
