Blackwater

Even better, Blackwater claims that it is not part of the military and is not subject to prosecution under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and at the same time is not a civilian institution and thus should be able to avoid adjudicatory proceedings in civilian courts. Furthermore, Blackwater has their employees sign releases absolving the company from harm in the event of injury or death. I'm not saying that will hold up as legally binding in a permanent way, but it appears to be doing so, doesn't it ? According to the most paranoid terror-ops scenarious I have favored on my blog, Blackwater is the type of institution that will continue to flourish in our time - until it finally stands revealed as a nihilistic embodiment of this country's drive for economic hegemony.
