Blackwater Preps for Hurricane Gustav

Amerom se je dokončno utrgalo.

The only difference between Blackwater in Iraq and Blackwater in New Orleans is that they are mercenaries in Iraq and they are vigilantes in New Orleans.

Kristus...

Tiste kretene, ki vidijo smisel v tem, da plačanci varujejo imovino davkoplačevalcev.

Zanimivo, kako zlahka si nekateri ljudje podrejajo ostale, brez kakršnihkoli pomislekov.

In to pove kaj? Da imajo za en kurc senatorje, ki ne znajo svojega dela delat?
"We think, but we don't know." Ja, fino. "Don't think, DO!"

Bogovi ravno niso : Blackwater Baghdad shootings @ Wikipedia .
A pa ta preiskava kje sploh je, ali oni samo "mislijo" preiskavo?

On October 11, 2007, the Center for Constitutional Rights filed suit against Blackwater USA under the Alien Tort Claims Act on behalf of an injured Iraqi and the families of three of the seventeen Iraqis who were killed by Blackwater employees during a September 16, 2007 shooting incident.[43]

The Justice Department is not expected to bring criminal charges against the corporation.

Ne bluzi.(vsaj tisto med oklepaji)

Nič ni narobe če to stori, ampak naj poskrbi tudi za to, da so lahko takšni osebki tudi kazensko preganjani. Če niso je potem to točno, kar Bush misli oziroma je že enkrat dejal o ustavi: "'It's just a goddamned piece of paper".

In kaj natančno je narobe, če država izvajanje določenih nalog outsorca firmam kot Blackwater?

narobe je to, da to niso samo "določene naloge", ampak zelo občutljive naloge za katere država že ima svoje službe kot so vojska, policija itd. mora bit človek res ornk zaslepljen, da ne sprevidi problematičnosti takihle paravojaških struktur (predvidevam, da v srbskih paravojaških strukturah tudi ne vidiš kaj je točno narobe), še toliko bolj, ko se te postavijo nad zakon. res točno to nam manjka, da se država umakne še iz zagotavljanja reda, miru in zakonitosti. že samo to, da ima država svoje lastne službe, ki jih po pravilu slabo plačuje (vojaki in policaji niso ravno dobro plačani a ne), potem pa bogato plačuje privatnim firmam za opravljanje istih nalog je zelo sporno. očitno namreč imajo denar, ki ga lahko namenijo za te policijsko/vojaške potrebe, a ga raje kot za opremo in plače v državnih agencijah, kanalizirajo v privatne žepe, hkrati pa stokajo kako ni dovolj rekrutov. pa res le kaj je narobe.

sicer pa kot jaz razumem iz novice na Wired Blackwater tudi išče potrebne ljudi:

But perhaps the most startling call for forces comes from Blackwater, the controversial prviate security contractor. The firm -- which famously patrolled New Orleans after Katrina -- is "compiling a list of qualified security personnel for possible deployment into areas affected by Hurricane Gustav," according to an e-mail obtained by R.J. Hillhouse.

They're looking for current sworn law enforcement officers, with "arrest powers" and "armed status (must indicate Armed and/or Semi Auto. Revolver only not accepted)." The firm is also looking for "current/active/licensed/registered armed security officer[s]," but "only from the following states: OR, WA, CA, NV, NM, AZ, TX, FL, GA, SC, NC, VA, MD, IL, OK."

Applicants "must be US citizens," the e-mail notes. "Contract length is TBD."
