Blackwater Worldwide is abandoning its tarnished brand name as it tries to shake a reputation battered by oft-criticised work in Iraq, renaming its family of two dozen businesses under the name Xe. The parent company's new name is pronounced like the letter z. [More]So I wonder if Vanderboegh will have to change the name of Brightfire to eX...?
Oh, wait, I forget--it's fiction. Any similarity is coincidental...

So...
Is it back to U.S. Embassy USMC guards and Federal Protective Service personnel to protect U.S. State Department personnel in Irag, or is evrytning "all nice", no worries?
Right.
Blackwater's name is only tarnished amongst the weak, insipid, uninformed and US government personnel who have yet to have their lives saved by Blackwater.
Lets compare the number of principles lost while in Blackwater's hands (exactly ZERO) to the number of folks lost in the hands of our military. I am not criticizing our people in uniform - just the insane and suicidal SOPs they are forced to follow.
Guarantee one thing - when the mopes who craft the ROE go into a hot place - they look to Blackwater to keep them alive. They know better.
