Blackwater was at Katrina, and they bragged about it!

Um, so, yeah. for those who want to look at the source, check http://www.blackwaterusa.com/btw2005/archive/090505btw.html. Some people in the state of Louisiana don't even know that Blackwater was there, in New Orleans, for Katrina. Their web site may have flown the flag, but our media surely did not. The media has covered Blackwater's presence in Iraq because of the bloody wake they leave, but it's hard to find anything talking about people's reactions to the private contractors being in New Orleans during September of 2005, or of their assignment to confiscate weapons from citizens at that time, and herd them into the Super Dome.
