William Fisher, Truthout: "Legal headaches are growing exponentially for the security firm formerly known as Blackwater - once the darling of the military-industrial community.... In separate developments, two former employees of the company previously charged that the security firm committed 'systematic fraud' under their contracts with the US State Department in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Iraqi government announced it would seize heavy weapons from foreign security firms and expel ex-Blackwater contractors still in the country and a US Senate hearing learned that Blackwater employees stole more than 500 assault rifles intended for the Afghan police force."
