CIA often gets blamed for Blackwater's mistakes. Of course, who is crowing about all this but leftists at Democracy Now, FiredogLake, the Nation and others. Here's at the site Newser they talk about Blackwater waging a "secret war" in Pakistan. At America Blog is the headline Blackwater allegedly running covert ops in Pakistan, posing as USAID employees - with the accusation that Blackwater is kidnapping and assassinating people in Pakistan. Of course, Blackwater employees, like some who have served in our military, are still faced with the accusation of 'killing innocent Iraqis' along with bribing Iraqi officials.
Alas, what the leftists say and what reality is are two totally separate things. The problem is that they are waging a war on our silent professionals and have made serious progress in destroying their valuable work and threaten to completely destroy their ability to continue doing it. American citizens need them for the work they do, regardless as to whether those who attended "Peace and Conflict Studies" classes understand it or not.
