As I was getting ready to leave for work today I heard a Reporter on the news say that Blackwater USA has been accused of using "Cowboy tactics" in Iraq.
So, from this,I guess we can infer that they have been off chasing horse thieves and cattle rustlers, and in general, taking care of Iraqi livestock, when they should have been protecting State Department officials. I can see where this is a problem, after all, it's not what they are being paid for.
OK, so enough sarcasm for now, but honestly, if this company is guilty of wrongdoing, then an investigation will bear that out, and appropriate action can be taken, but why all the nonsense? Why do people have to say things like "Cowboy tactics" instead of just stating their complaints and accusations?
Honestly I haven't paid much attention to the whole thing, and am finding it very hard to get all worked up about, I just wish people would say what they mean instead of always stretching for the soundbite.

One regular guy proclaiming that the uncompromising Gospel Of Jesus Christ is the only relevant thing that the Church has to offer the culture.
1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
"Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." C. S. Lewis
"Some wish to live within the sound of Church or Chapel bell; I want to run a Rescue Shop within a yard of hell." - C.T. Studd
2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Jude 2-3
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
