Xe(Blackwater Worldwide) training center for sale...

Writer J Schakill who follows the PMC/PSC(private contractor) industry says that Xe(Blackwater Worldwide) has released a formal statement saying the firearms/tactics training center in NC is for sale.
Xe sold it's big Aviation/air support company that had several major contracts in southwest Asia for about $200mil.
The big training site has been in use for many years but has been involved with recent scandals with the US Dept of Justice(ATF).
Schakill also wrote that Xe/Blackwater's former owner/CEO/founder Erik Prince(a former US Navy SEAL officer) has plans to move to UAE(United Arab Emirates). UAE has no formal extradition treaty with the USA. Before his death , Michael Jackson lived in UAE too while he was under criminal investigations by US law enforcement.

The US govt & DoD/intel agencies should cut all their ties with Xe. As time goes on, this entire firm seems less & less ethical/law-abiding.

Not really a tactical issue and what someone does to avoid the law certainly isn't a tactical issue.
