I've already heard whispered rumors of this from connections I have.
Blackwater is not the only organization "outsourcing" it's "contractor's" to expand the workload to other Law Enforcement agencies, but until I
have more to go on, I'm not stating anything here.
Since Blackwater is officially "civilian" because of their official designation, thereby bypassing the law that's supposed to prevent military from
acting as Law Enforcement on American soil, Posse Comitatus, them filtering into the "contractor" designation within a Law Enforcment entity, any
one, makes the laws even fuzzier than they already were.
Think about it this way for a moment, in this comparison through analogy.
A Law Enforcement Officer, and a Bounty Hunter, used to be extremely different aspects, and the Police Officer would look down their noses at Bounty
Hunter's, and then laws were changed, a quick name change to Bail Enforcement Officer(Bounty Hunter, with a Badge), and their working side by side,
not quite the same status, but the Police Officer's now will give the Bail Enforcement Officer's more respect than they used to.
I'm not saying that's a perfect example, nor is it always the case, but it's similar enough.
Same thing has happened with Blackwater when they changed names from "mercenaries" to "Private Military contractor", the name change was done to
give their appearance a military name camouflage make-over. Everyone knows "mercenaries" are scum-sucking leeches, so change the official
designation, and it's like making a Model T ford become a Dodge Viper, on paper.
So, according to the story, it's in doubt of whether the D.E.A. is utilizing Blackwater "contractors" or not.
Well, the D.E.A. is one of the dirtiest of all Law Enforcement agencies, so I wouldn't have a doubt about it.
Here's a quote from the Blackwater thread I did in relation to the D.E.A.
Blackwater : Right-Wing Conservative America, Whether You Like It Or Not...
I got the largest compliment from a friend the other day, that if I went into Law Enforcement, and worked for the D.E.A., they would be afraid they
couldn't keep Me in check, because anything naughty I might do, I eventually tell people anyway, and because you have to be half dirty to work for
them, they would hate to not be able to blackmail Me to keep Me under their control.
In other words, I'm not dirty enough, for their liking.
