How many more Xe(Blackwater)contractors need to be caught?

My main concern about Xe (formerly Blackwater) is the cult-evangelical bent of its leader/co-founder, Erik Prince, and his ties to cult-evangelical extremists like James Dobson of "Focus on the Family," "The Family Research Council," Senators Tom Coburn (R-OK) and Rick Santorum (R-PA), Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA), and indicted former House Majority Leader (extremist) Tom DeLay (R-TX), etc., and wonder if anyone has investigated to see if Blackwater (now Xe) has ties to the dominionist "Christian" cult headed by Michael Farris cited in Goldberg (2006) that is headquartered in rural Virginia but which is spread through all 50 states through home-schooling using literal interpretation of scripture. Has anyone investigated to find out how many of the employees or executives of Blackwater/Xe are cult-evangelically-linked? What about any ties whatsoever to "The Family" cult, owners and operators of the C Street House in Washington DC where Senator Ensign resides (Sharlett, 2008)? I think the danger of this 9-company-strong mercenary agency is not the foreign connections, but the domestic ones based on the long-time involvement with religious extremists who are advocating overthrow of democracy.
