ABC News - Authorities stepped up their efforts to empty the city of New Orleans.

Bob Woodward reported from New Orleans (video above):
The police and the National Guard find themselves in a very difficult position tonight to try to carry out an order to force people from the city without actually using force.

Today in New Orleans, they got a lot tougher on the holdouts, not only the flooded areas but New Orleans' driest and wealthiest neighborhoods too. The police and National Guard going street by street, house to house. They say there are no orders to use force, just strong persuasion, sometimes entering open houses with guns drawn and instructions to disarm anyone inside.

"No one will be able to be armed. We will take all weapons," said the New Orleans Police Chief during a press conference.

That happened today in this wealthy neighborhood where homeowners had armed themselves to protect their mansions. Residents were handcuffed on the ground. In the end, police took their weapons but let them stay in their homes.

For many of the police and guard troops, it is an uncomfortable job to do this in an American city.

"It is, it is surreal," said a guardsman. "You just never expect to do this in your own country."

"Walking up and down these streets, you don't want to think about the stuff you're gonna have to do," explains another guardsman. "Somebody pops around the corner."
"You mean shot an American?", the reporter asks.

"Yeah," replies the guardsman.

A Blackwater contractor is paid six to nine times more than a top Army sergeant, and a Blackwater contractor working in Iraq can earn $10,000 or more per month or $120,000 or more per year (tax free). The U.S. taxpayers pay Blackwater USA, a war profiteer of the military-industrial complex, $1,222 per day for one Blackwater "Protective Security Specialist, which, the Congressional report notes, amounts to $446,000 per contractor per year.

Scandal-Ridden Blackwater Changes Name to ‘Xe’
The scandal-ridden security firm Blackwater USA is officially changing its name effective immediately as the company moves to rebrand itself after being fired last month by the State Department from its job protecting diplomats in Iraq. The company will now be known as Xe and hopes to be a “one-stop shopping source for world class services in the fields of security, stability, aviation, training and logistics,” according to a memo sent by company president Gary Jackson to employees on February 13, 2009.
