Great Guy and usually good prices.
BW's role in Katrina was asset protection.
Hospitals and other medical centers primarily.
The initial deployment was immediate, voluntary, and in less than 24 hrs.
Once those with means found out that the company was in the area, they hired them to protect their assets as well.
That is when more people were brought in.
As far as them and the NOLA PD goes, there were some very tense encounters with them.
Disarming the BW guys was not going to happen.
Let's just leave it at that.
BW did work extensively with the National Guard regarding relief efforts though.
I suppose Jeremy Scahill's Book would say differently though.
(He portrays those guys as if they were SS Storm Troopers setting babies on fire.)
Anyway, the power of bad PR is pretty strong.
Blackwater is no more and Xe was formed out of the ashes.
Ironically Barack H. Obama was protected by a Blackwater Protective Detail under the State Department contract during his trip to Iraq during his presidential campaign.
