> Dear Richard and Linda,

> Than you for your responses to my e-mail concerning Blackwater.   
> Since I sent that e-mail to you, I have discovered that in January  
> of this year the U of I's Police Training Institute signed a  
> contract with another "security" firm similar to Blackwater, Triple  
> Canopy.  Please see the attached press  release issued by Triple  
> Canopy announcing this arrangement.  Of course, the same concerns  
> that I raised about Blackwater apply to Triple Canopy.  Aside from  
> their mercenary activities abroad conducted with little  
> accountability, they are contributing to a a  militarization of our  
> domestic police forces.
> I would like very much to see a copy of the PTI's contract with  
> Triple Canopy.
> Thanks very much in advance.
