I see an organization such as Blackwater as a potential threat to democracy in this country.
Already lawsuits are being filed against Blackwater, and calls are being made for Congress to investigate possible corruption and illegal billing practices.
The government should not allow war profiteering, but it is perhaps the easiest way for them to pad their pockets and their cronies that own these companies outside of public review.
