Submitted by YOUR NEW REALITY
For years your corporation has had an all but flawless public image, regularly reinforced by barely critical mainstream media profiles and praise. The President of the United States loves you, so does the vice president, as did the secretary of defence.
But then a few of your employees went absolutely berserk in a wealthy neighbourhood and slaughtered some 17 civilians, including women and children, wounding dozens more. The fact that your employees used automatic weapons and gun-launched grenades to obliterate the innocent, and then your executives tried to downplay the reality of what happened, only made the horror all the more appalling.
So what to do?

Blackwater Security guards are disgusted over the massacre of innocent civilians by their colleagues in Baghdad, and the Iraqi government is demanding the ’security agency’ pack up and leave, forever.
