I'm not really sure where you're going with this, and it doesn't really matter to me, but seeing as I'm from New Orleans, I'll tell you that it was indeed a combat zone post-Katrina. Blackwater was there, too. Post-Katrina was a complete cluster fuck and there was most certainly rape, murder, drug wars, and all other types of criminal behavior going on.

Oh, I wasn't really going anywhere with it, just bringing it up to make my point. People were all up in arms about blackwater employees being there, but they have no problem with a ~250 man infantry unit of Marines.

Just to be clear, I'm friends with a number of guys who were sent down there and am sure they performed admirably and did their best to help alleviate the situation. I'm simply pointing out that if you really want to get angry about who the gov't sent in there to help out - a heavily armed combat unit of Marines being deployed within the boarders of the united states is in my opinion slightly more interesting than a private security firm.

A former Blackwater employee and an ex-US Marine who has worked as a security operative for the company have made a series of explosive allegations in sworn statements... The two men claim that the company's owner, Erik Prince, may have murdered or facilitated the murder of individuals who were cooperating with federal authorities investigating the company. The former employee also alleges that Prince "views himself as a Christian crusader tasked with eliminating Muslims and the Islamic faith from the globe," and that Prince's companies "encouraged and rewarded the destruction of Iraqi life.

Wouldn't the "missing/murdered" federal employees spark an investigation? The crime these people state would be rather high profile and I would think it would garner federal and media attention.

They also state that Erik Prince is a muslim hater, but so are millions of other American's, did these people personally know Erik or is it simply just speculation on their part as they try to incite prejudice as a form of discreditably.

Both those arguments are merely opinion, there is no actual evidence people were contracted to kill informants, nor is there any evidence that Price's view is public record so we can plainly see this is nothing but mere speculation of probably two disgruntled employees
