Can you say Shadow Government?

So former members of the CIA (if there are such things) are in top management of Blackwater and Blackwater get contract for assassinations, but they never actually did anything. I guess that’s the official story.

I will wait to see if we get more facts about the assassination business. I suspect that if/when we know the truth, we will see a resurrected version of the Nixon enemies list, but the targets won’t be scheduled for tax audits.

David Kay? Paul Wellstone?

CIA Hired Firm for Assassin Program

Blackwater Missions Against Al-Qaeda Never Began, Ex-Officials Say


A secret CIA program to kill top al-Qaeda leaders with assassination teams was outsourced in 2004 to Blackwater USA, the private security contractor whose operations in Iraq prompted intense scrutiny, according to two former intelligence officials familiar with the events.

The North Carolina-based company was given operational responsibility for targeting terrorist commanders and was awarded millions of dollars for training and weaponry, but the program was canceled before any missions were conducted, the two officials said.
