Yeah, I don't know what your experiences were, but since I was loaned to the State Dept and was interacting every day with the BW guys and was friends with many. If this was a poorly kept secret, I guarantee I would have heard about it. I travelled to most of the cities in Iraq and met with the majority of BW folks. If there were incidents like this, a lot of the good people I met within the company would have reported it. If BW had folks that worked directly for the CIA, I never saw them anywhere within country and never heard anything about it. Considering I was embedded with the IRM with the State Dept, if these things were happening, I would have heard about it. The State Dept is gossip central and we knew about everything going on in country. I also had access to comms in the entire country and so did my group. None of us heard about any of this. If they were everything you said they were, it would be hard to hide this and would definitely not have sat well with the ex-military folks within Blackwater. Contrary to popular opinion, (by the media) ex-military folks keep the same morality even after they get out. Nearly all are Patriots, just not blind to the bad shit our government does. Of anything we are more aware and less likely to follow the bullshit narratives.
