Blackwater has a new name: "US Training Center"
Is there a list of Blackwater aliases somewhere?

Another interesting line to emerge in Blackwater's motion is that the company now prefers to be called by one of its recently created alternate identities, "US Training Center." One would be forgiven for thinking this is an Olympic facility, instead of a mercenary operation. The lawyer representing Blackwater, Peter H. White, boasts in his bio that he is "listed in The Best Lawyers in America--White Collar Criminal Defense."

2. They train police to be stormtroopers
Kinder and gentler, they are not.

7. come on - if you were so clearly wronged by the 'perps' and the cop
why did you drop the charges? You had every right to NOT to drop charges, because cutting a lock and stealing a bike is NOT 'just a prank', especially if they were older kids ("not asked whether they were in college...").

And what do you mean by 'his profile pic'?

5. They train civilian police as well as Military.
Most police who go there are SWAT types.

8. They were going to call it the "US vs. Them Training Center" but thought folks might catch on.
