JC Black: Blackwater-TIS link in Pakistan

Joseph Cofer Black, Vice Chairman of Blackwater at one time, and now Chairman of a private intelligence gathering company, Total Intelligence Solutions, has been visiting Peshawar and Karachi to set up TIS offices in these cities. Interestingly, he continues to be referred to as an American official. He had a 28-year career in the Directorate of Operations at the Central Intelligence Agency, culminating in his appointment as Director of the CIAs Counter Terrorist Center (CTC) in June 1999. Testifying at the Congressional Joint Inquiry into the 9/11 attacks in 2002, Black eschewed the offer of anonymity because I want to look the American people in the eye. (It appears that this is how his identity became known to the public).
Black was the United States Department of State Coordinator for counter-terrorism with the rank of Ambassador at Large from December 2002 to November 2004. The point man for the U.S. governments international counter-terrorism policy in the first term of the Bush administration, he resigned shortly after George W. Bush was elected to a second presidential term. From 2005 until 2008, Black was Vice Chairman of Blackwater USA, a US-based private security firm which is the State Departments biggest security contractor.
