Morrison on Blackwater

In an irrational and emotional piece in today's opinion pages, LAT columnist Patt Morrison attacks Blackwater for, among other things, soliciting work from the office of California's governator. She says she was "stopped cold" when she learned that contractors sometimes do work for governments that she always thought was done by police officers and citizen-soldiers.

It's just guard duty. There have always been privately employed guards. They free soldiers to fight wars and police to pursue and arrest criminals and enforce laws. Liberals are losing it over Blackwater.
