THE former president of the security firm Blackwater has denied in sworn testimony that the company's contractors regularly used excessive force in Iraq or that officials falsified travel documents.
Gary Jackson said in a deposition for a civil lawsuit in December that he believes both claims were false.

Two former Blackwater employees, Brad and Melan Davis, have accused the company's workers of using extreme force and improperly invoicing for travel costs. Blackwater has since changed its name to Xe.

Jackson declined to answer several questions during the deposition, exercising his constitutional right not to incriminate himself. Jackson's lawyers advised him to refuse to answer when questions came close to the scope of a criminal case against him.

A federal grand jury in North Carolina indicted Jackson and others last year on weapons charges.
