Blackwater were hired to play a part in the CIA "terrorist hunt and kill" program.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8211088.stm

QuoteThe CIA hired contractors from the US private security firm Blackwater as part of a secret programme to track and kill top al-Qaeda figures, reports say.

The New York Times quotes current and ex-government officials as saying Blackwater helped the CIA with planning, training and surveillance.

Several million dollars were spent on the programme but no militants were caught or captured, the report says.

Emphasis mine.  Nothing like a several million freebie to give to a Christian extremist with a private army.

Yes, and apparently, we have about twice as many "Blackwater troops" over in Afghanistan as we do American.  70K Blackwater vs. 40K US.  That's shitty.  Shitty shitty shitty.  And the Obama administration continues, according to Scahill (this is all accdg to Scahill, who I saw on Bill Maher's show), to use Blackwater for its own purposes, same as the damned Bush administration did.

I heard there were 250,000 total contracters in Afghanistan, but contracter doesn't necessarily mean a frontline or security-placed mercenary.  I'd like more accurate figures, and a breakdown of precise duties (much of the logistics end has been privatized in war), but I doubt any will be forthcoming, since, uh, trade secrets and all that.

Scahill calls Prince a "Christian supremicist"...and it's so very scary that this guy has just about THE PREMIERE merc organization in the world, so I'm starting to be paranoid enough to put Blackwater up there with AQ as a runaway juggernaut backed by so-called legit governmental agendas.

Bullshit on the 'no more war on terra' statement by Obama's boys in the Pentagon...if Blackwater's still in play, then this b.s. agenda is STILL ON.

again, this was Scahill's figures...I don't know how legit they are, but he named the figures as they are, and you're right--security ops/troops/bodyguards on officials...they can all be Blackwater and not figure into the "official" figures.

The scary part is the supralegal aspect to the role they play, no matter where they are.  But they still carry the stench of American supremicism on them.  So our agenda, whatever Obama's administration seems to think it is over there, is going to be outright tainted by them and their merc duties. 

Fucking paranoid shit, this is, and I got more and more pissed off sitting there listening to Chuck Todd and his excuses for why they pander to Obama and don't ask more hard-hitting questions about this--a platform Obama ran on.

In Iraq, Blackwater mercs were often suspected by locals of being CIA or Mossad.  That was what insurgents called them, too.

They are CIA.  I mean, in any meaningful sense.  Sort of like Tower Airlines.  Are they CIA?  No.  Are they really CIA?  Yes.

Scahill said they were part of CIA (and still are) in Iraq.  They have diplomatic fucking immunity handed them by the Bush administration, though.  Unlike the CIA.  But there is a trial going on against a few of them right now.
