Seems like a safe bet not to re-name your private security contracting company ‘ACADEMI’. But the PE consortium that bought Xe, formerly Blackwater, has other maverick ideas. Like accidentally naming their group of crazed, gun-toting vigilantes after The Welsh Academy, the National Society of Writers in Wales. Seems like the making of a great crime caper: Welsh writers are thrown into the slums of Iraq, protecting bottled water convoys while toting machine guns. Their counterparts, jilted ex-Marines and fringe militia members, move to Wales and learn how to read. Sleeper hit of the decade.
