They murder, take and make bribes, lie about everything, have total secrecy, control trillions of dollars and who knows if it is there at all, and above all they are not for our system of government. They have repeatedly said that they don't support public companies and think that everything should be hidden. How much did the Bush administration give to these guys in contracts that were not even bid. It is probably secret even though it is our (American taxpayer) money. There needs to be more accountability within the government concerning companies that won't divulge anything. Are they more trusted then the average American? Besides that, we don't need 'security' companies when we already have over a million troops. What do they do? Are they incapable of providing security? It is time to quit wasting money on private companies and have government workers do it! Since companies like Blackwater like to send all of their labor offshore and show no allegiance to the people of America I think that all government jobs should be taken back from them and given to the American people!
