Xe: Washington Post Propaganda
"Highly trained personnel employed with the private security firm formerly known as Blackwater Worldwide sometimes operated side by side with CIA field officers in Iraq and Afghanistan as the agency undertook missions to kill or capture members of insurgent groups in those countries, according to a former government official and a source familiar with the operations." If the first two words in this story in the Washington Post are "highly trained" it becomes clear that the Washington Post intends to provide justification and to soften the impact of the rest of the story.
