BUSHCO Plan To Supplant Special Forces With Blackwater Private Hit Squads For MORE Deniability
Special report - The bin Laden kill plan



The plan to create CIA hit-squads proved another dead end…revived by Porter Goss with a twist: the agency would use outside contractors for the hit teams, to give it more deniability. Erik Prince, founder-owner of the controversial private military contractor then known as Blackwater and a former Navy SEAL, was invited to participate in brainstorming sessions.

They were going to supplant Special Forces with private hit squads. The Samozas and Duvaliers would be proud. Perhaps, as Emptywheel noted a few months ago and others as well, Raymond Davis has something to say on the matter and whether such programs actually ended?
