Blackwater private security in New Orleans?

[KevinTheOmnivore]

Max, I think you hit it on the head.

Yes, the black water press release should be read with scrutiny. But it still, even if just given a cursory glance, fills you in a bit on what they're up to, if you cut out the fluff.

And on the second article-- you're right Max, but here's my take on it. If rich people want to spend crazy amount of cash to protect their homes and move their files, that's totally cool with me. More power to them.

But if these privatized guards are compensating for a lack of NOPD and guardsmen, then that's bad. That creates an inequality of security and services.
