Xe, the company formerly known as Blackwater, says there is no connection between it and American Private Police Force (until this weekend, known as American Police Force), the secretive company that took over that jail in Hardin, MT.

3. I don't trust these guys enough

to take this at face value. But it is pretty compelling.

It's the Web hosting issues that keep me scratching my head. I wonder if these clowns had some ties to people who then had some ties to Blackwater? Maybe this is an instance of someone telling someone else, "hey, lets set this up, my buddies at Blackwater will back us up," when in fact they were bit players or castoffs from Blackwater etc.... :shrug: Just speculating.
