Like the monster in the movie you just KNOW isn't dead...

Jeremy Scahill warns us to keep an eye on Blackwater:
Among the headlines of the past 24 hours: "Blackwater plans exit from guard work", "Blackwater getting out of security business", "Blackwater sounds retreat from private security business", and "Blackwater to leave security business". One blogger slapped this headline on his post: "Blackwater, worst organization since SS, to end mercenary work."

Frankly, this is a whole lot of hype.

Anyone who thinks Blackwater is in serious trouble is dead wrong. Even if -- and this is a big if -- the company pulled out of Iraq tomorrow, here is the cold, hard fact: business has never been better for Blackwater, and its future looks bright.

Amazingly, large chunks of our taxpayer money has been literally lost. Billions cannot be accounted for.

Strange, that.
