Blackwater recently changed it's name to Xe (pronounced Zee) in an effort at 'rebranding. You can read all about it in the article below, but I imagine that if Xe is successful, then we will see a veritable avalanche of name changes - er rebrands.
General Motors in the process renaming their company Wal-mart in hoping to turn their profit margin around, Chrysler, as always confused on the concept is looking at the names Woolworth, Montgomery Wards, and Venture.
The World Coal Institute has renamed Coal - "Clean." So now instead of Coal Powered Plants, they will be referred to as "Clean Powered Plants."
Roland Burris is supposedly considering the names Honest Abe Burris, Integrity Burris, and Morgan Freeman (without the Burris).
Citigroup is hoping to use the name Make a Wish Foundation (after all they are wishing for more capital) while A.I.G. is hoping to change it's name to the Unsinkable Molly Brown... though many of us would recommend the Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight
Newt Gingrich is looking into Ronald Reagan, or at least Knute Rockne, Tom Daschle is wondering if a name change will result in tax forgiveness, while a number of GOP office holders are wondering if they call their party the Democartes they can confuse some people into votes.
The final one, Bernard Madoff is changing his name to Pizza. After all Everyone Loves Pizza!!!

Would that I had written this! What a bunch of revisionist load to rename a tarnished company. Way to call them out, Darren. I love how they chose something that sounds like an Asian religion, when in fact the company is corporate, mercenary thugs.
Yep,...whatever ya call it,...it still an American Gestaop to me.
I would be willing to bet that they would turn Blackwater loose on the citizens if protests got to the level of Vietnam war days....they will call it a 'National Security' thing.
