I'm in the small minority of people on this board who believe that any correlation between atheism and higher intelligence is a myth, and that they are believed only because they cannot be disproven, but also cannot be proven either.

Um if you look in the thread in SMP you should find links to a ton of papers supporting the correlation. Or just google it. It can certainly be demonstrated one way or another once you've decided on a definition of 'intelligence'.

Not that it's really an important point to begin with.

Glad you realized that after taking time to type that post. So, any opinions on the topic at hand, which would be Blackwater's ability to complete the mission, totally in spite of some of it's execs deciding to spend Sunday mornings in church?

Dbl,

I'm sure I'm not competent to judge Blackwater's competence.

My only thoughts are that, under the current administration, it seems that people with an evangelical background have been employed and promoted beyond normal expectation. Blackwater's founders may be beneficiaries of this trend, though innocent ones I'm sure.
