Blackwater's website is DOWN

Is this the shape of things to come after Blackwater's gunning down of innocent Iraqis? Or is this just a temporary service glitch?

Stay tuned...

:woohoo:

5. Is their website being swamped

since the Iraqis announcement today?

That really wouldn't be a bad thing at all. I hate that they are in my back yard. But I think I would hate it even worse if they moved offshore and there was no way to keep tabs on them.

15. suburban cops are either

extremely scary and out of control, or perfectly professional, careful, and prepared for anything. There isn't much inbetween.
I am wondering which ones were trained by BW.

16. My guess is they shut down for a while to 'clean up' the site

I've found several internal links that now lead to deadends...
