This is funny one of the guys I served with and I were just discussing Blackwater this morning. Saw a guy that reminded us of one of the BW guys that lived in our camp in Iraq. As with all organizations you have good folks and ****-heads. BW had more of the latter, but still quite a few of the former. They had less rules than us and some had no problem throwing that around.
Most of them I knew would consider this good for their image, cause it contributes to the "bad-***" image that the company thrives and depends on. I wouldn't doubt if the idea originated in the corporate offices.

Blackwater (Xe Services) is a private security company that currently operates in Afghanistan. In the past, they've been accused of of murder and indiscriminate killings of civilians and have been investigated on alleged corruption and sanctions busting while operating in Iran. The Obama adminstration has taken our tax money and hired them for security in Afghanistan. Supposedly, they're good at what they do. Apparently, they've started a motorcyle club of some sort.

Probably not a "they" just a "he." Just like some guys have patches with "U.S. Army" on top and "Afghanistan" on the bottom and things like that. You can have them made in Afghanistan for about $10. The Afghans specialized in motorcycle/Harley stuff. I have Harley bar and Shield logo patches with my name in place of "Motor Cycles" and a jacket with a Harley "swept-wing" logo with the Afghan campaign ribbon and U.S. Army replacing the words.

You need to get a clue before posting stuff like that. You could not have been more wrong. Blackwater and the independent contractors were the child of Dick Cheney. Research it and learn... I don't think anyone could make a claim that Cheney and Obama are working together...
The IC stands for "Independent Contractor"

1) A private security company. True
2) Had changed their name to Xe Securities. True
3) They had been accused of indescretions. True
4) They were hired by Obama's admistartion to go to Afghanistan. True
No where in my post did I mention who orignially hired them under the name Blackwater. I didn't think I needed to give the OP a detailed history lesson.
All I know is Obama's administration hired them after they changed their name to Xe Services and cleaned up their act, then sent them to Afghanistan. If you want to get into a pissing match, I'm your man.
