Blackwater Fever

IPS News:  "Iraqi doctors in al-Anbar province warn of a new disease they call 'Blackwater' that threatens the lives of thousands. The disease is named after Blackwater Worldwide, the U.S. mercenary company operating in Iraq."  Too bad that it's actually just the name of the disease as it's been called since the 19th century.  Are the reporters, Ali al-Fadhily and Dahr Jamail, idiots?  Lairs?  Hard to say.  It seems clear, however, they don't know how to use Google.
