Blackwater mercenary squad “Not that you would know that from Blackwater's publicity material. Americans are used to corporate-speak, but when the business is war, more euphemism is needed than ever. When Blackwater says it "efficiently and effectively integrates a wide range of resources and core competencies to provide unique and timely solutions", you think, "What?" Translation: "We provide heavies and we teach people how to be heavies." Instead of saying "gunfire", they say "active shooter incidents". "Solutions" is a classic corporate euphemism for a security company. You make what you do as vague as possible - except we all know what "solutions" means in this particular case.” Guardian October 29, 2007
