Blackwater Stages Rescue for Positive PR

Take a look at the CBS video depicting the latest Blackwater story, the dramatic rescue of the injured Polish ambassador... Pretty handy that they had cameras right there to capture all the action. Reminds me of some other dramatic rescue footage that came at an opportune moment as well.  

 

"Like a scene from from an action film, Blackwater USA, the private security contractor under fire for numerous abuses in Iraq, was dispatched to rescue Poland's ambassador after an assassination attempt on a busy Baghdad street today.

Despite being the subject of numerous investigations by Iraqi and American authorities, Blackwater is still indispensable to the US mission in Iraq, as today's incident illustrates. CBS reports that the Blackwater air rescue unit was dispatched by the American embassy because it was the only such unit available.

Even so, the investigations into actions of Blackwater contractors will continue as the accusations against the firm mount. A State Dept. probe is being handed over to the FBI and investigators on the case will be guarded by US security agents - a job normally reserved for Blackwater. - RawStory"
