Blackwater Restructure and Name Change
Blackwater Puts on a New Public Face


The parent company of Blackwater Worldwide is restructuring and will drop the name Blackwater from its various units, a move that coincides with the winding down of the State Department guard work in Iraq that turned the small military-training company into one of the world's biggest -- and most controversial -- security firms.

EP Investments of McLean, Va., will now be called Xe, (pronounced "Z") and run by Gary Jackson, 51 years old, who had been the president of Blackwater Lodge and Training Center. EP was structured as a holding company without a president.
