Thats not their modus ope*****. They are a security company designed to provide security to VIP, diplomats. Their only instance of atrocities. They were throughlly invetigated, the Hadita massacare.
LOL...and OBL was merely the head of a construction company.
They're a military near-source operation, and have been involved in much more than simple VIP security, even doing routine escort missions.
Now word is out that they have been contracted by intelligence agencies, to the extent of operating drones.
Whatever the case, this much is clear: they have little to no oversight. They do not follow typical chain of command structures. This is fine for training foreign soldiers. This is not fine for taking part in CIA operations.

In a court of law, a case without proof is dismissed.

No one is arguing for prosecution, mere plausibility. Further, presumption of innocence may be neccessary in the courts, but it's insane when talking about an organization that is licensed to kill.

Because in 2004, there was no oversight over these companies which led to the Haditha Massacare. Now there is. Even Xe has said they only have 1 employee in Pakistan.

The complaints remain.
Nor was haditha the sole screw-up on the part of Blackwater, but hey, the same can be said of the American military. What is different is that Blackwater is a mercenary outfit that fights for money; it is no different than Pakistan outsourcing to militant groups, contorting arguments aside.

I think Xe and other Security companies have become the new Jews, Hindus, Zionists and other boogey man to Pakistanis willing to blame all the ills of their country on them.

No doubt...Pakistanis can do nothing but wrong, and everyone else is a sweet heart...

Since Xe is not a terrorist organization, any allegations against them, they will be given the benefit of the doubt. Not to groups like Al Qaeda or TTP.
[/quote]
No they won't. They're mercenaries, and close kin to non-state actors and terrorists. One of the reasons why governments like them so much...

Since the only past history of Xe was one incident...I much rather take the track record of Xe over TTP or Al Qaeda.

Unkown. And there are plenty more of documented greivences against tthem.

Since Pakistan Army committed crimes in Bangladesh in 1971, and thus can I deduce that they still are?

No doubt you would...it seems only Americans and Blackwater can escape this logic. Personally, if word were out that the Pak. Army committed atrocities in Balochistan, then given their past history, I'd consider this highly plausible, and merit of investigation. I certianly wouldn't stick my head in the ground and pretend all is well.
Once again, I shouldn't need to remind you that this logic is yours...and it's non-uniform application is your trademark, nobody elses.
