Blackwater infiltrates streets of Islamabad

Source: The Nation PK

ISLAMABAD – Almost each and every street of the Federal Capital is infiltrated with notorious Blackwater, TheNation's investigations reveal.

After weeks-long efforts, this newspaper has finally managed to get trails of the exact locations of as many as fifteen houses in the private residential areas of the city that are hired by the notorious spy agency among other 70 residences hired in the sectors of F series, E-7, G-6 and G-8.

...

The information received from credible security officials and some informed residents of the localities, where Blackwater personnel are residing, reveals that a significant number of these accommodations are acquired on rent in the name of a renowned US-based international non-governmental organisation, fifteen other fake humanitarian NGOs and security agencies.

In addition, 43 residences are operating in the name of one fake humanitarian NGO that neither exists on ground nor carries any legal documentation. 350 Blackwater personnel are residing in the city along with unspecified number of US marines and spies of Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

but I despair that there's anything I, or anyone else that's not in the loop - can do about it. In large part the disagreements on these forums, relative to the situation in Afghanistan, has been about who is doing more harm to non-combatants: the Taliban or NATO and the US. I'm sometimes accused of ignoring the indiscriminate carnage committed by the Taliban (I refuse to call them 'insurgents' or 'terrorists' lest I am compelled to label our military in the same way). I don't ignore it or dismiss it. I loath it. But my conscience bothers me a whole lot more when the killing of civilians - women, children, the old...is done by MY native country, by MY elected officials and as a citizen of the US, indirectly by ME. How can I not feel complicit?
This police/military empire we continue to grow across the globe shames me. It really does. But, What to Do?

Secret CIA torture prisons, drone attacks on civilians, and the Blackwater Goon Squad pissing off every tribal person in the mideast.

Stop.. stop.. stop... these insane , corrupt wars. Bring our troops home you idiot Morans(sic) in Washington

Cut off the funding for this nonsense... No More $33 Billion for anything!!!

.. the TImes Square bomber said it... "Pakistan people are pissed because of the Drone Bombings killing civilians.. and the refugees that have to live in Squalor."

Yet this nightmare goes on and on and on and on....?

Obama doesnt have a clue.. cut off the funding.. No $33 Billion to extend the war.. bring 'um home...

anyOne else have a problem with this aspect of the story?
