The Mercenary Vanishes

However, one particular photograph from the Times story has drawn more attention than anything else. That picture, which has now been widely reproduced at blogs, shows a long-haired man, wearing a Blackwater tshirt and with a pistol at his belt, passing a box marked “DEA Evidence” to other agents participating in the raid.
And the picture has been removed? Where have we seen that before?

Maybe there's something to the concerns... but gosh--they're so friendly to gun bloggers...

  1. According to someone else who asked the same question the picture was removed because the DEA guy operates undercover from time to time and the paper does not black out faces as a policy. Or that's what we're being told.

    Yet another wonderful victory in our asinine war on drugs.

  2. Blackwater trains loads of cops. They are mercenary, remember. Doesn't mean the fellow worked for them, hearsay to say that based on wearing a t-shirt. He might have just been there for some range days and instruction or just thought it was a cool tshirt he got at an SOF convention.

  3. I know another method to make Blackwater members vanish.

  4. The picture is still available. Just check out most gun forums.

    lightfighter.net is one for sure.
