CIA hired Blackwater to help hunt al Qaeda leaders 
The program was outsourced to contractors to “put some distance” between the effort and the U.S. government.
I know al Qaeda isn’t going to win a lot of popularity contests—but isn’t it extremely creepy that we seem to have contracted out some assassin work? I like to tell myself that whatever weird and nefarious stuff the CIA used to be involved in, it’s probably exaggerated and mostly over now. I worry I’m wrong on both accounts.
