A Kinder, Gentler Private Security Service
By John
Image is everything, even in shady world of private security contracting. So leading US security firm Blackwater, after a string of bad press, is launching a new PR offensive.... complete with a shiny new logo and everything.
Okay, maybe that's not their new logo. But a bunch of folks (including this guy) who read the Danger Room blog think it should be. Click through the image to vote on your favorite.
Aside. I feel for Blackwater. They've got a bunch of dorks running around calling them mercenaries, without even knowing what a mercenary is (foreign soldiers hired by a foreign government to fight its wars). That's a far cry from an American company running protective services for diplomats out in Iraq. But y'know these anti-war folks... they get all hysterical sometimes.
So go soothe their volatile emotions by voting for a pretty, kid-friendly logo already.

I heared it is not just protective missions. actually, I saw some films of BW snipers somewhere hunting insurgents. also, the battle of Falluya started out after some of these guys drove past a roadblock and entered the city on their own, no diplomats arround (after which they got themselves lynched).
