Things that make you go hmmm...? Why would Blackwater, a black ops, major military contractor want to build a mercenary camp in the East County of San Diego?
With all the military base closings, why would Blackwater need to build a camp on what was once a remote chicken ranch? An area where golden eagles, mountain lions, deer, bobcats, and other misc. flora and fauna make their home?

The local NBC affiliate is interested in why Blackwater feels the need to build a mercenary camp so close to the Mexican border as well.
Defense contractor Blackwater USA is the subject of some controversy as well as a congressional committee investigation. The company provides armed security for U.S. personnel and supply contractors in Iraq.
Blackwater USA wants to train its private army on the site of an old chicken ranch, just over the hills from Potrero. Residents of that community, environmentalists and anti-war activists have a protest scheduled on Thursday in advance of the county planning commission meeting.
Something just smells fishy here. With the loss of Carol Lam as US Attorney in San Diego-fired (cough) because she did not "prosecute immigration cases"

Now suddenly Blackwater is showing up with plans to build a training camp in a remote location near a well known illegal immigrant border crossing? Yet so many closed military bases set waiting.....hmmmm
