Don, longtime Friend of VDB, checks in on the rapidly imploding Blackwater Security situation.

Dear VDB,

Do I have this right? Our troops are in Iraq to secure a peaceful government and life over there. But we had to hire a private military (Blackwater) to provide security for our government people. But Blackwater started killing civilians, so now Condi Rice has federal marshals watching Blackwater. Next step: hire another private outfit to keep an eye on these federal marshals.

Enjoy yourself,

Don
