Scahill explains how many BW folks were there in New Orleans -- and he also explains how BW and others recruit - by paying high salaries and recruiting from the military.

Bill Moyers asks about Martial Law -- and asks how far fetched that would be. Scahill explains about "how the future might look" and then proceeds to discuss Blackwater, 180 men in New Orleans, how they got there before FEMA by Prince's own decision, how intimidating they were, how they had 600 men from TX to Mississippi, BW was paid $240,000 day, and the NW men being paid $350 per day plus a per diem.

Then he talked about Israeli commandos having been paid by a wealthy business man -- a company called Instinctive Shooting International -- how intimidating they were, how they tapped on their automatic weapons and told Scahill how afraid US civilians are of seeing them (unlike the Palesitinians who are used to seeing them), he then explains how the poor get treated like thieves and the wealthy hires their own commandos, "In a National Emergency ... The poor drown ... the rich bring in their mercernaries..."
