What Is Blackwater USA? Why are they in charge?

After watching Jeremy Scahill testify before Congress, thanks to a YouTube link, my head is spinning!  I am convinced that King George has a hand in the pocket of these corporate mercenaries.  It is shameful that these soldiers for hire are raking in the cash & benefits our enlisted and national guard soldiers will never see.

Blackwater USA 

Blackwater: The Rise of the World’s Most Powerful Mercenary Army

Scahill points out that these un-accountable mercenaries can go on killing sprees that our soldiers get court martialed for.  They are only accountable to their corporation and not USCMJ, US laws or Geneva Convention.  This is a long but riviting YouTube piece.
