Blackwater Xe

The security company in Iraq known as Blackwater has changed its name to Xe. Blackwater Xe has had a lot of bad publicity in the news over the past few years.

Several weeks ago we heard that Blackwater was getting kicked out of Iraq. I told my wife then that they would just change their name and be back in a few years.

Well, they did change their name. The new name is Xe pronounced Zee. Not sure what the meaning behind the new name is.

Blackwater Xe came under fire when some of their employees killed some Iraqi civilians. Some are calling it unjustified. Most Americans would agree that the incident happened in a war zone and the actual truth will never be known.

I have to believe those involved believed they were in danger. I believe it is possible that the scene had been sanitized by the time officials arrived, like they did in the movie "Rules of Engagement. Xe will be more of a training company than it will be a security company. My guess is a security company will open up with Xe as the parent company.

The job of protecting American civilians in Iraq is a tough one. Sometimes the line between black and white is mired in trying to figure out who are the good guys and who aren't.

Women are now suicide bombers. As evidenced by three who killed themselves and others this week in Iraq as the innocent women traveled on a holy pilgrimage.

The Iraq Army has also killed Americans, some they say by accident.

So who can say with exact certainty who the good guys are and who the bad guys are?

How can anyone who has not been there nor been in a firefight judge these men?

Xe has a training camp in Moyock, North Carolina. Whatever slack Blackwater is leaving behind some company will pick up. There will probably be a deal to get the training from Xe and then the other company will hire.

Bottom line is bad things happen in war, whether it is on the battlefield or in the corporate office. Those throwing stones at Blackwater probably could not have done the job any differently.
