Everyone's favorite mercenary army, Blackwater, is in the news again. Apparently, in 2005, Blackwater dropped CS gas upon Iraqi civilians and US SOLDIERS. CS gas is prohibited to be used by an international treaty banning chemical weapons that the United States signed. OUR SOLDIERS CANNOT USE THIS GAS. But apparently Blackwater can.
If Blackwater sounds familiar, its because they killed 17 Iraqis in September of last year. We have a mercenary group that is killing Iraqi civilians and gassing our own soldiers. For some reason, this upsets me.
We now live in a country where it is ADMITTED that we TORTURE people. And we are occupying a country where we periodically kill their civilians with either our own troops or with mercenaries. How did this happen?
One other fun Blackwater note. When Blackwater got into trouble for, you know, shooting innocent civilians, they decided to hire a Public Relations firm, BKSH & Associates Worldwide. Who is one of BKSH's clients? HRC.

My Dad talks about these guys all the time. He's swears they're Bush's secret army and had something to do with the levy's blowing in Louisiana.
Your dad probably knows them. Apparently, they have a 7,000 acre complex in north eastern North Carolina. Currituck county specifically.
