Blackwater Security Consulting
Supporting President Bush's Global War on Terrorism
Well, the Presidential elections are over, the masses spoke, the liberals are
lined up at health clinics receiving treatment for Post Election Selection
Trauma, and President Bush's war on terror will continue to move forward for
the next four years.
Our military is doing a fabulous job in fighting the war on terrorism as is
apparent by the results of the most recent victory in the Battle of Fallujah.
As Iraq continues to become more stable the Department of State will be
sending in more U.S. Government Officials to assist Iraq in becoming a
democracy. Even though the majority of Iraqis want democracy there will still
be those terrorist who do not, and they are a high-threat to the safety of
our Officials. These Officials need professional protection and the
Department of State, Bureau of Diplomatic Security has chosen and contracted
Blackwater Security Consulting to assist their organization in providing that
protection.
How can you get involved in stabilizing Iraq and supporting the President's
war on terrorism? Answer - Protective Security Specialist (PSS). Blackwater
Security Consulting is providing qualified (see BSC's High-Threat Protection
webpage for requirements) and trained PSS and PSS/Medics to the U.S

Pre-deployment training classes are FILLED throughout the remaining of the
year. Our Operations Support Unit is now scheduling candidates for early 2005
classes. If you're interested in this sector of the anti-terrorism field now

BLACKWATER K-9
During the week of November 8 - 12, Blackwater K-9 conducted the Five Day
Tactical K-9 Course. Fourteen students came from police departments located
in South Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Federal law enforcement
officers were also in attendance. Based on the critiques submitted at the end
of the week the course was a resounding success. The officers commented that
there was little down time, they were worked hard and were pushed to their
limits. The instructors were very positive and gave 100% both physically and
mentally to the student's successful understanding and completion of the
course. Blackwater K-9 will be scheduling the presentation of this course
four times in the upcoming year.

Teaching
Intelligence: Getting Started
by John Macartney
College courses on the CIA and/or intelligence were non-existent when I was
an undergraduate back in the 1950's, and the same was true when I went to
graduate school in the 1970's. Today, however, courses on the CIA and
intelligence abound in this country and, to a lesser extent, abroad. Since
most of us in today's professorate never took courses on intelligence as
students, there is some question of where to start. That's the subject of
this paper.

Shotgun
Ammunition Assessment and Selection For Law Enforcement
By Chris Epperson
One of the greatest attributes of the police shotgun is the diverse
ammunition available for the weapon. The operator can select from lethal to
less lethal rounds, breeching rounds to distraction devices. Depending on the
supplier you use the only limit is the imagination. There are rounds, which
disperse powdered magnesium into the air and ignite it, creating what is
advertised as a 300' fireball. Even large municipal departments such as Los Angeles
police use starburst rounds fired into the ceiling of a room during high-risk
entries to create an alternate distraction in cases where flash-bangs may not
be practical. Even blanks fired from a 12ga. Shotgun can be used to safely
remove glass from windows.

The
False Surrender: Another "New" Insurgent Tactic??
Martin D. Topper, Ph.D.
I saw a seemingly "new" insurgent tactic in a video news clip from
Al-Fallujah today. This probably is a very old ruse in insurgencies, and it
may have been used by insurgents in the Middle East elsewhere during the past
couple of years. However, it was new to me and, given that it seemed to be
very well-staged, I thought commenting on it might be of use to some of use
to others.

New Video Game Recreates Kennedy Assassination
A new video game to be released on Monday allows players to simulate the
assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy.
The release of "JFK Reloaded" is timed to coincide with the
41st anniversary of Kennedy's murder in Dallas and was designed to
demonstrate a lone gunman was able to kill the president.

Good Samaritan Used Wrestling Move To Subdue Suspect
Valley Wrestler Helped Officers Arrest Leroy Roberts
When Omaha police tracked down and tried to apprehend a man wanted for
robbery and sexual assault Wednesday, a citizen stepped in to help. Leroy
"Tony" Roberts Jr., 44, was arrested after an officer
recognized his vehicle Wednesday near a public telephone at 2605 S. 160th
St. in the parking lot of a BP Amoco station. He was suspected of two
robberies in Omaha -- one at a restaurant and one at a liquor store --
and may be the man who robbed and sexually assaulted a clerk at a
Bellevue GNC store. He also may have used a hammer to attack her.

Iraq Sets Election Despite
Fresh Violence
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Iraqi authorities set Jan. 30 as the date for the
nation's first election since the collapse of Saddam Hussein's
dictatorship and pledged that voting would take place throughout the
country despite rising violence and calls by Sunni clerics for a boycott.

Changing of the Guard: A Special Relationship
Condoleezza Rice:
She's got one attribute Colin Powell can't match-a tight tie to the
president, which will be a source of power at State
She thought she was heading to a casual dinner to celebrate her 50th
birthday with some friends at a Yuppie restaurant in northwest
Washington. But when her limo turned in to the British Embassy's driveway
last week, Condoleezza Rice experienced an unusual moment of confusion.
Greeted by the tuxedo-clad ambassador, Sir David Manning, Rice could only
sputter, "David, why are you dressed in black tie?" Her answer
was waiting inside, where 120 friends were enjoying a rare secret kept
from the president's ultradiscreet national-security adviser. Rice was
stunned.

U.S.: 1,450 detained from
Fallujah offensive
American forces conduct raid on 'high value target'
The U.S. military said that Iraqi and U.S. forces have detained more than
1,450 people in connection with the Fallujah offensive. More than 400
detainees have already been released after being deemed to be
non-combatants.
Elsewhere, U.S. forces conducted a raid to capture a "high value
target" associated with Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in
an area northwest of Baghdad, a U.S. spokesman said Sunday. Three people
were detained, 1st Lt. Lyle Gilbert said, though it was unclear whether
any of those arrested was the target that U.S. forces were seeking.

U.S., Afghan forces kill 4,
hold 5, in raid
Arab fighters among those killed, U.S. military says
Several Arab fighters were among four militants killed and others
captured in raids by U.S.-led forces on al-Qaida-linked compounds in
eastern Afghanistan this weekend, the U.S. military said on Sunday.
The raids took place on Saturday and Sunday in the eastern province of
Nangarhar in the vicinity of the provincial capital Jalalabad, a
statement from the U.S. military said.

Fallujah's empty promise
True to guerrilla form, the insurgents faded away
As battles go, Fallujah has been a big disappointment to the U.S.
military, which had wanted to draw the Iraqi insurgents into a
cataclysmic mistake: a "fair" fight. Not that any officer
relished the prospect of a Stalingrad- or Hue-like street-to-street,
house-to-house blood-letting. But the alternative has even less to
recommend it: a continuing series of roadside bombings and mortar and
grenade ambushes that bleed American forces and frustrate efforts to
secure Iraq ahead of January's elections.

Don't
Leave Home Without It II: Equipment Inventory
Last week we took a look at what the properly
equipped law enforcement officer should carry on his (or her) gunbelt.
This week we're going to look at a basic load-out for the AVERAGE
soldier. The items listed are those that my experience has taught me (or
common sense demands) a soldier should have any time they are sent into
the field. Naturally, because the soldier often has to operate farther
from support and in much harsher environments, the list is longer.

THANKSGIVING...
"The first Thanksgiving days were harvest
festivals, or days of thanking
God for
plentiful crops. For this reason the holiday still takes place in the
fall after the
crops are gathered....
The first American Thanksgiving was celebrated less than a year after the
Plymouth
colonist had settled the new land. The first dreadful winter in
Massachusetts had
killed nearly half of the members of the colony. But new hope grew in
the summer
of 1621. The corn harvest brought rejoicing. Governor William Bradford
decreed
that a three day feast be held. Indians brought wild turkeys and
venison. The
colonists brought geese, ducks and fish. The meat was served with
journey cake,
corn meal bread with nuts, and succotash. The meal was served on big
tables
outdoors.
