Blackwater Founder and Murder ? Erik Prince in Trouble...

Do read this article...damn amazing..and yet really not so shocking...( I am waiting to see if Blackwater Thugs and Criminals were hired by Cheney,that is what I am waiting for) ...but Jeremy Scahill did an amazing job with this article...and he was on Countdown and explained it all to Viewers. ( I will post the video when I have it). ( For those that have not read his book on Blackwater...you need to..)

Here is the link to the article, read it...it will give you chills....
I have been thinking all night of the times he was interviewed on CNN with Wolf , treated like he was visiting Royalty or a War hero....well, this paints things in a whole new light. ( I also remember seeing him at Hearings on Cspan acting Arrogant and rude).
Last I checked in January Blackwater STILL had Contracts with Homeland Security and FEMA for 79 Million, maybe we should ask that situation be Reviewed or Challenged ???

It just gets worse the more we learn doesn't it.. I think they quit using them though didn't they? At least I am pretty sure they stopped them.. I think it was in March, maybe April or something like that.. I could be wrong...but I am pretty sure that they stopped it..at the very least in Iraq.. because of the problems that were arising and all, I think I am remembering correctly.

Their contracts in Iraq have ended, BUT Blackwater still has contracts NOW with FEMA and HLS...I need to find out when that ends- I could not find it last night- I last found the info in January- it was a 79 Million Dollar Contract for the US...

The absolute worst thing about this whole story is that Dick Cheney paid this thug to conduct murder and gun trafficking. Our Government used a hired assassins to openly kill people. in OUR name.

I understand we are not always above board, but Prince is a dirtbag who's made his money KILLING people through OUR government's auspices.

Sick Sick Sick -

and the Contracts have not been severed..and also the Blackwater crimes are something we should all know about....

and the Money spent on those contracts....well, some of it is still being spent...

and unless the pressure stays on the current administration much-needed investigation / prosecutions will go by the wayside...maybe somebody should offer Dickco a trip overseas? A speaking gig in Spain?
