SAN DIEGO -- Blackwater Worldwide was reported Wednesday to have filed a lawsuit against San Diego over stalled permits for a military-style training center in Otay Mesa.

Mayor Jerry Sanders announced earlier this month that the controversial North Carolina-based firm would have to undergo a public review process if it wanted to forge ahead with plans for 61,600-square-foot training center in a business park three blocks from the U.S.-Mexico border near Brown Field.

A lawsuit filed by the company Friday alleges that its training center plans were being scrutinized more intensely than similar facilities that previously won the city's approval, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

City clerks and inspectors had already signed off on permits for Blackwater to turn an existing warehouse into classrooms and an indoor firing range when Sanders and other city officials voiced concerns.

"We have met all the permitting requirements, and withholding the certificate of occupancy is in violation of law," Blackwater attorney Michael Neil wrote in the lawsuit, according to the Union-Tribune.

That's what we should do with treasonous corporations that attack our governments, whether federal or state, whether by lobbyist subversion and insider corruption, or a frontal assault like this one, when our government representatives have the courage to defy these corporations and act in our interest. We should fight back with our most powerful tool--our sovereignty as a people, and our RIGHT to say who does business here and who doesn't get that PRIVILEGE.
