Technically Blackwater is intrinsically involved in the aerial bombing missions using the drones
it sounds as though the bombs are mission specific.
From the sited articles it also seemed to indicate that Blackwater would be heavily involved with finding, and setting up the targets....
All leading to heavy Blackwater mission involvement.
Considering all of that, and that the relationship with the CIA is clouded; I feel it wouldn't be out of place to assume Blackwater is actually piloting the drones.
The NYtimes article states they've been doing the bombs for over a year.

It's their country.
Perhaps the US should leave.
