Lacerda reporting:
During my recent research on Eric Prince and the Blackwater case I have discovered the actual etymology of the name "Blackwater". We have to trace back to a small town in northern Poland in Starogard County. There we find the name: Czarna Woda (Schwarzwasser) which translated into English means Blackwater. Being curious enough, it was during my interrogation I conducted with former Blackwater CEO Eric Prince that he mentioned Czarna Woda as one of his favourite places in Poland to have visited as a happy child. I quote:
"Yes, definitely. I took the name Blackwater straight from that little town in Poland. I have happy memories from there because once with my parents we used to canoe on Wda river. You know, serving as "a peace keeper" in Iraq or Afghanistan - very distant and foreign countries - I had to have that sort of happy thought with me, carrying all the time and remembering me about those happy moments in Czarna Woda. So, (he laughs) I decided to name my "peace and stability organization" Blackwater!"
Here I give you some information about the town. It's holidays, so folks, pack your canoe and hit Blackwater!
