| This just in: Blackwater for sale |
|
Blackwater, the “security firm” that served as U.S. mercenaries in Iraq and got themselves into all kinds of legal trouble as a result, is up for sale. The company, now called Xe Services although no one seems to use that name, is being sold, said founder Eric Prince, because “Performance doesn’t matter in Washington, just politics.”Much more at the link: http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/theclog/2010/06/08/blackwater-up-for-sale-defends-its-performance/

| 2. I wish I could say it won't sell, but it will. Wonder if the buyer will be from within or outside |

| 3. I don't expect anyone to buy them out. |

New owners would have to accept Blackwater's liabilities and they would be
spending all their time and money in court or in Congressional hearings.
