I was referring to the...Thanks for the observation. I was referring to the Cashwell and Grumiaux case, in which Blackwater fired its two employees after suspecting them of theft, and a government investigation suspected them of shipping or conspiring to ship the weapons illegally abroad. As a company, Blackwater provides services or goods without prior licensing approval from the relevant US government agencies. In observing the company, it's clear that Blackwater has a profound philosophy of only acting in the interests of the United States. Last July 15 we reported that Blackwater repeatedly rebuffed the Chinese who were interested in police training for the Olympics. The company didn't turn down the Chinese because of any government regulations, but because of a matter of principle - Blackwater won't do anything to help a regime like that in Communist China, even if others in the US government want to appease Beijing.Standishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06090424171740692709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008211204955877187.post-76580302499392123802008-10-02T16:06:00.000-04:002008-10-02T16:06:00.000-04:00Miles:I don't read all your stuff, but I did see t...Miles:<BR/><BR/>I don't read all your stuff, but I did see this piece and note a significant error.<BR/><BR/>You state: "Blackwater turned over two employees to federal authorities after suspecting them of stealing and illegally shipping weapons in the company's custody to factions in Iraq." The two individuals in question were stealing and illegally selling firearms, but their activity was entirely domestic. Blackwater has never sold firearms (or any other material) to enemies of the United States.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
