It's business as usual for the mercenary army of Blackwater, these days known as Xe Services.
The New York Times reports that the CIA recruited Blackwater to kill Al Qaeda operatives. Let's leave aside questions about the evil of Al Qaeda. Whatever might be thought about them, it does raise a whole lot of legal and diplomatic risks as these contractors would not have the same protection as a US Government operative. That can make it messy.
But then, Blackwater has always operated in a moral vacuum. The most outrageous is the latest story that the company's former boss Erik Prince, might have murdered or facilitated the murder of individuals who were cooperating with federal authorities investigating the company.
According to two former Blackwater operatives, Prince covered up illegal activities, destroying incriminating emails, videos and documents and, according to one sworn declaration, he "and his employees murdered, or had murdered, one or more persons who have provided information, or who were planning to provide information, to the federal authorities about the ongoing criminal conduct."
As with the company, maybe all this was just a case of business as usual.
