Link rescue. Click here for the article from Boston Globe.

If you read the lefty blogs, you will find that Blackwater's real sin is that the company is run by Republicans who contribute to the party. There was clearly a vendetta against this firm.

B-Daddy, Thanks for the link.

There is the reason you state but I think the broader overall animus is basically "government contractor" + "Iraq War" = "shameless war profiteer".
