I have personally worked beside Blackwater employees. These operators conducted them selves in the utmost professional manner and are very squared away individuals. As for Mr Prince I have not had the pleasure of meeting him, but from what I have heard he is a very down to earth person and a pleasure to work for. The media dosen't like him because he is a conservative christian, if he was a liberal the media would bury this whole thing or just wouldn't cover it. I am a Police Officer and Tactical firearms instructor and wish there were more facilities like Blackwater to train the Police and Military. GOD bless our men and women over seas.

Prince now plays down some of his earlier rhetoric about creating a private battalion that could be dropped into a trouble spot anywhere around the world (he has mentioned Darfur in the past). His focus seems to be more on developing the latest high-tech gadgetry to sell to the government. Blackwater has a prototype of a spy blimp—an unmanned dirigible that could hover for days. Though he despises doing media interviews, Prince felt his company had been so maligned he was compelled to speak out. The interview with NEWSWEEK over, the reporter was ushered out, past a large portrait of George Washington, on his knees in the snow beside a white horse, praying. Fox News played on the TV screen. On the door of the suite of the offices in the faceless building in the corporate sprawl of northern Virginia, there is no name.
