What exactly did you find incorrect in my post? Read it again (slowly). I stated they were:
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.

They were not hired by the Obama adminitsration. It simply carried the policy forward. You attempted to make a poltiical statement and were in error.
I won't argue with another member. Enjoy your day.

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.
I'm familiar with the type. This makes sense.

They have a club. I don't know if he is a member because I haven't asked him. I haven't seen any of their members yet but I saw where they posted formation of a club on the internet.
