"Among the other unsubstantiated stories the United States denies: that 1,000 US Marines will land in the capital, and that Americans will set up a Guantanamo-style prison."
MSM calls them unsubstantiated, huh?
That sounds like confirmation to me!
Please read a BLOG and DO NOT RELY on the LYING NEWSPAPER, America!
"Pakistan police raid security contractor; Firm helps protect the US embassy" by Nahal Toos and Munir Ahmad, Associated Press | September 20, 2009
ISLAMABAD - Police raided a Pakistani security firm that helps protect the US Embassy yesterday, seizing 70 allegedly unlicensed weapons and arresting two people. The incident follows a series of scandals surrounding American use of private contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The raid on two offices of the Inter-Risk company is especially sensitive because of a slew of recent rumors and media reports that US embassy expansion plans in Pakistan include hiring the security firm formerly known as Blackwater. The United States says there is no truth in the reports, but they have resonated with the many Pakistanis familiar with allegations that Blackwater employees were involved in unprovoked killings of Iraqi civilians....
The UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT is a LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
According to Inter-Risk’s website, it was first formed in 1988 and offers wireless home alarm systems as well as security guards and other services. Though the US Embassy in Islamabad does have American security staff, much of the work is done by local workers. At checkpoints and gates leading to the embassy compound, for instance, Pakistani security guards inspect vehicles and log in visitors.
So if a "suicider" hits it is THEIR FAULT, get it?
Scandals involving private contractors have dogged the United States in the Middle East and South Asia. In Washington on Friday, the Commission on Wartime Contracting heard testimony about another contractor - ArmorGroup North America - involving alleged illegal and immoral conduct by its guards at the US Embassy in Afghanistan.

And yet the WAR-LOOTING MERCENARIES roll along!!!
Earlier this year, the Iraqi government refused to grant Xe Services - the new name for what was once Blackwater - an operating license amid continued outrage over a 2007 lethal firefight involving some of its employees in Baghdad, although the State Department has temporarily extended a contract with a Xe subsidiary to protect US diplomats in Iraq.
Not that they would have any concerns there:

Yeah, why do you need Blackwater when you got your own?
Many of the recent rumors in Pakistan have been prompted by US plans to expand its embassy space and staff.
Among the other unsubstantiated stories the United States denies: that 1,000 US Marines will land in the capital, and that Americans will set up a Guantanamo-style prison.
