The Pakistani government should withdrawn aerial support and let the Pashtun warriors deal with them as with the British or the Russians.

The governmant of Pakistan always talks about establishing the writ of the state. But can they establish the writ of the state over these mercenaries? A state selling its sovereignty for the sake of a little US aid. Isn't that the definition of a failed state? What if these guards shoot an innocent bystander? Will the government be able to punish them?

This should be absolutely unacceptable. What is Blackwater or whatever water doing in University Town? The Pakistani Government has failed miserably, and is now contracting out to mercenaries, who are there to protect somebody elses' interests rather than the indiginous people of the area. Will this not create a backlash, which might be worse than what is already happening there? The Government of Pakistan has failed miserably; the people must come out in the streets as they did when they got the judges back. Dont lie prostrate while you are being had from the backside!We must demand accountability from the Government. University Town, as well as the rest of Pakistan, is for the People of Pakistan, not for the likes of Blasckwatrer.

In my view, this is a sensationalist reporting. Foreigners are not permitted to carry weapons anywhere in Pakistan and to say that Blackwater are on the streets of Peshawar brandishing weapons is higly unlikely. Only Pakistani Authorities and perhaps Diplomatic protection individuals can do so.

This sort of reporting annoys me - anything to make the situation worse than it already is.

Blackwater is associated with kidnapping, prostitution, tax evasion, gun running, weapons stockpiling, recruiting death squad paramilitary personnel from Latin America and defrauding US taxpayers. Blackwater operates without oversight, transparency or accountability. For more information visit xewatch.info

I went to the Xewatch.info website and I read all the links they have posted. Interesting that out of all of the accusations I was unable to find one government conviction. Seems like a lot of false accusations mixed with some true, which in turn just confuses the whole issue and becomes misleading in order to fulfill some agenda.

The allegations recently made in the Deutsche Presse-Agentur regarding Peshawar are completely baseless, as Xe only maintains a construction contract outside of Peshawar with no armed personnel and only a local national construction company. The Worldwide Personal Protection Services (WPPS) contract in that region is held by DynCorp.'

Well,Blackwaters, as name shows must be doing covert assignments besides working as a contractors.Of course, they can't work without paying the authorities and I believe that they all are after same agenda.People should know the intensity of this game which is being played over muslims by the same people who are pulling the strings of economy, globally.They play negative under the shadow of positive activities.Alas! muslims should know that how they are working after their agenda and that how they have infilterated our religion, culture, economy and everything....but to remind you, we will win this battle, no matter you have a upper hand now.
