Blackwater USA runs a 6,000-acre operation in Moyock, N.C. Its Web site states: “We are not simply a 'private security company.’ We are a professional military, law enforcement, security, peacekeeping and stability operations firm who provides turnkey solutions.”

Stepping into a potential political minefield, Blackwater USA is offering itself up as an army for hire to police the world's trouble spots.

Cofer Black, vice chairman of the Moyock, N.C.-based private military company, told an international conference in Amman, Jordan, this week that Blackwater stands ready to help keep or restore the peace anywhere it is needed.
