By Josh Marshall
Last week I told you about International Peace Operations Association, the DC lobbying outfit and professional organization for military contractors. And then just yesterday we brought you word that Blackwater, a member of the group since 2004, had cancelled its membership in the IPOA.

So what happened to spoil the relationship?

Seems the folks at the IPOA had commenced a review to make sure Blackwater was in compliance with the IPOA Code of Conduct. Apparently it was scrutiny Blackwater didn't think it could bear.

Great company.

2. So they are taking their toys and heading home.
Hell, if you don't like the rules, just quit and go write your own.

Would that we could all do that.
