Excited to Put Lives on the (Bottom) Line

"Blackwater USA, one of the government's top private [military] contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan, leads its 'Blackwater Tactical Weekly' email newsletter this week with an all-caps, all-bold exultation: 'Bush Wins, Four More Years!! Hooyah!!'" reports The Hill. Democratic Representative Jan Schakowsky remarked that Blackwater "looks forward to four more years of war-time contracts." A Blackwater spokesperson at their PR firm, Alexander Strategy Group, responded that Schakowsky is "so desperate to attack the Bush administration that she is smearing civilians who are putting their lives on the line in Iraq so that others may know the freedom we take for granted here at home."
