They have had to farm South America and other parts of the world for their mercenaries. For instance Chile. They actually hired a shitload of guys who were soldiers for Pinochet. Pretty fucked up if you ask me.

And you are right about similar security companies. Blackwater gets a lot of press because they are the largest and most prominent. But there are a lot of other companies like Blackwater that are handling security overseas with little to no oversight.
