Naomi Wolf points out that historically, every fascist regime has required a nongovennmental paramilitary force in order to set aside basic civil rights and the rule of law. Could Blackwater be that force? They were recently awarded $15 billion as part of a consortium to conduct counter-narcotics operations, including operations on US soil. Will a private army with no obligation to uphold the Constitution be policing your town soon?

That's what I would have said six months ago. But I'm a historian by training, and this is starting to creep me out.

No laughing matter when they appeared in New Orleans, uninvited and the got a huge no bid contract to "hunt down the bad guys".

Scared, no. Angry...hell yeah!
