Reports of Blackwater infiltration into Pakistani cities is rampant, but this is hardly something the media has created out of wholecloth. Today, for instance, a top opposition figure, MP Hashimi of the PML-N, became the highest ranking government official yet to admit to the presence of Blackwater employees in the Islamabad District. The Pakistani government regularly denies claims that Blackwater is in the nation, and accused those reporting it in the Pakistani media of being “conspiracy theorists.” Yet Blackwater has been shown time and again to be operating, not even covertly but openly, across the nation.
