Blackwater Has Made Almost $1 Trillion in Iraq Since 2004

This is galling.
Blackwater, a very large private security firm, who are also in the spotlight this week for their soldiers causing havoc in Iraq, have made a trillion out of this war so far.

The U.S. military is dependent on contractors in modern warfare, and their are undertones of animosity between the State and D.O.D. over who should be taking more blame over Blackwater. But what really struck me FTA: Since 2004, State has paid Blackwater $833,673,316, compared with Defense Department contracts of $101,219,261.
