Mercs in America?

Blackwater
It looks as if others are picking up on the use of companys such as Blackwater, DynCorp, Intercon, American Security Group, Wackenhut and an Israeli company called Instinctive Shooting International (ISI) in the Gulf after Katrina (See the Nation: Blackwater Down ). I wouldn't be surprised to hear that after Rita makes landfall these same companies will also show up in Texas.

But aren't there laws agains the use of such private forces in this country for law enforcement?

It might be worrisome if Blackwater was actually enforcing laws! However they are not...at the most they are working as a backup to a law enforcement officer. They are mostly guarding high value properties while the already over stretched NOPD is working the street. NOPD has lost over 400 officers that are unaccounted for after Katrina.
