    In a 2007 email, with the subject “Possible Opportunity in DEA—READ AND DELETE,” Prado sought to pitch the network to the Drug Enforcement Administration, bragging that Blackwater had developed “a rapidly growing, worldwide network of folks that can do everything from surveillance to ground truth to disruption operations.” He added, “These are all foreign nationals (except for a few cases where US persons are the conduit but no longer ‘play’ on the street), so deniability is built in and should be a big plus.”

Jeeeeeezus.

And the Amyntor Group named in the article is based out of Whitefish, Montana. The same small town that is home to Whitefish Energy, who was the one awarded the fishy contract for rebuilding Puerto Rico's power grid. What the hell is going on in that town? Why does this feel like a Tom Clancy novel?
