DblJ,

Dont waste your time trying to have a reasonable discussion with Midge. He simply either isnt capable of it.

VR, would you consider saying Blackwater employees never kill anyone to be reasonable discussion?

It certainly is when you define "Employee" as someone who works for you. If you're interested in what Blackwater <u>employees</u> do, they work here in America, training law enforcement, military, and private citizens in various firearms and unarmed self defense techniques, and they work as mechanics, etc.

The security agents work as independent contractors, they write invoices and have checks deposited into checking accounts. They do not work for Blackwater. They are screened, background checked, pass their firearms qualification courses, then are checked as "Cleared" by Blackwater, at which point they head over to work for various clients of Blackwater on a wide variety of security missions.

They don't work for the people that pay their salary? I must be confused

Of course you are, because you read what you wanted to read, and skipped what you didn't.

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