Recent reports have only afforded more credence to what's already been alleged: the security agency used by the United States government, Blackwater, has played a more active role in Iraq and Afghanistan than either the U.S. government or Blackwater are willing to admit. Allegations that Blackwater security guards have loaded weapons onto military planes have surfaced. But even more tellingly, Blackwater security guards may have engaged in clandestine operations with the CIA and U.S. Special Forces. If the allegations are true, that means Blackwater has engaged in more than providing security for high profile officials. And this could mean there has been a blurring of the responsibilities of military and nonmilitary personnel.
