Blackwater USA question: Why was Cofer Black on TV last night?
Cofer Black is/was the TV face of Blackwater.

The title under the video showed something other than "working" for Blackwater.

Is this simply Blackwater branching out?

Or...

... do we now have a private CIA in this country operating outside of what's left of the law?
