Other soldiers have taken counterterrorism evasive-driving courses with the private military company now at the centre of an investigation into the killings of Iraqi civilians and mounting concerns about the aggressive tactics of its workers in the field.Critics of Blackwater label the firm as a mercenary organization and question why a professional military such as the Canadian Forces can't do its own training in specialized areas.The Ottawa-based counterterrorism unit, Joint Task Force 2, has also maintained ongoing training links to the company.Military officials did not have further details on why Blackwater would be hired, but promised to provide those. Later, however, they did not comment on the matter.Canadian Forces spokesman Lt.-Col. Jamie Robertson said the military does not discuss its special forces training. But he noted that Blackwater and other firms have been contracted to provide services for other units."The Canadian Forces has occasionally contracted companies to provide specialized training to our personnel in those cases when specialized training is not available within the Canadian Forces due to a range of factors, including the unavailability of training resources, expertise or specialized facilities and equipment," said Robertson.Still, Dawn Black, the NDP's defence critic, questioned the need for Blackwater to be involved in training Canadian troops."My understanding is we have some of the best-trained forces in the world, and great trainers, so why do we need our armed forces personnel to be trained by a mercenary organization?"A total dollar figure on what has been spent on Blackwater training was not available by press time, since training is contracted out individually on a unit-by-unit basis, said Robertson.But he provided an example of one such contract: 18 members of the Strategic Advisory Team sent to Kabul went to Blackwater in June for a two-day course called hostile-environment defensive driver training. The cost was $29,000 which included accommodation and meals, as well as extra course time for two of the team members.Minister of Public Safety Stockwell Day, when asked whether the training in Blackwater is appropriate, defended the Forces.BILL MOYERS: Congress has begun a new round of hearings to get answers to questions the Bush administration refused to answer last year — questions about accountability.http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/020...
