Blackwater Worldwide Response to False New York Times Report

November 14, 2007

Blackwater supports stringent accountability for our industry. If official findings conclude that someone was complicit in wrongdoing, we will support holding that person accountable. However, the investigation remains underway and to the best of our understanding, the key people involved in the incident have yet to even speak with authorities. The unnamed "civilian and military officials" sourced in the story have leaked law enforcement sensitive information before the FBI has completed its investigation and Blackwater will thus withhold further comment until official findings by the FBI are made available.
