More Blackwater Spokeswomanship

A US company that provides security for US diplomats in Iraq has denied as “baseless” allegations that it was involved in weapons smuggling.
What it probably means:
Given Blackwater USA’s track record when faced with things that happened but which they would prefer had never happened, innocent bystanders could be forgiven for interpreting the above remarks as an official confirmation.
What the latest statement supercedes:
Responding to allegations that Blackwater employees were the subject of an Iraq arms smuggling probe, the spokeswoman told the BBC News website: “We are aware of that report and we have yet to see definitive proof that the firm in question is Blackwater.
How pathetic is that? And it certainly does seem to be Anne Tyrrell again.
