The author offers opinions on the private military company Blackwater USA. Despite the scandal over Blackwater employees fatally shooting 17 Iraqi civilians in Baghdad in September, 2007, the company is maintaining a high public profile, including a name change to Blackwater Worldwide. Blackwater employees parachuted into Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, California at halftime of a college football game. Residents are fighting a planned Blackwater facility near the city.
