There have been so many stories in the news and online. Everyone knows someone who saw 100 body-bags, etc. Is there a definitive assessment of the true role that private security/ contractors/ mercenaries/ paramilitary actually played in the days after Kateina?

Black water was security for the Sheraton on Canal. I know because I had to go through it frequently. Those guys run a tight intense operation.

The security force at Audubon Place all carried Uzzis. And every yard was mowed and not a tree limb on the ground and no one was getting in.

Every day that passes, every year that passes, more and more horseshite will be claimed and said about that storm.
The crap we are hearing today will become tame and believable by comparison.

And if I hear another numbnuts say "federal levee", I might snap.

I don't know. I always knew you were badass I just haven't heard firsthand of the badassery. I just took everyone's word for it.

When Katrine came. I was stuck on a roof. I told FEMA, "I don't wanna come down; I just wanna get loose"...

The security force at Audubon Place


This is the only story I have heard and read enough on to totally believe. A private security force did land with choppers in Audubon Park and did guard that subdivision.
The guy who paid to bring them in send bills to everyone in the place later on to try to get them to split the cost.

You always hear stupid arse stories of navy seals coming into the city and shooting rioters left and right. All bullshite.

I've heard stories from a reliable source that threats against hospitals were neutralized by the SEALS. The part that could not be verified is if those bodies would ever be found. Also heard first hand from someone who housed military personnel at a downtown office building that there were a group of large individuals dressed in all black who they were not allowed to speak to nor ask who they were.
