They may not take prisoners, but they murder people. Which part do you not comprehend??
Thus, to use your fetish terminology - pigshit and more excuses.

Webby...as usual...you put out false information. They are ACCOUNTABLE to the UCMJ and to the Justice Department...and are currently under investigation and there have been occasions in the past years that they have been under investigation by both and up to this point in time they have not been found to have violated a law that is prosecutable. No member of Blackwater has yet been charged with murder and until someone is charged and convicted no member of Blackwater is a murderer.
They are not outsourced for military replacements...and they are not used in any military capacity although on occasion when a military person or persons have been in an overwhelming situation they have come (when they were in a position to assist quicker than a military force could) to protect and extract them. They are security personell hired by the State Department to act as body guards for VIP's.
