Blackwater Chief To Flee the Country?
Three unnamed sources tell The Nation that Blackwater owner Erik Prince may be planning a permanent vacation to the United Arab Emirates in the wake of federal indictments against top company executives. Prince has not yet been hit with any formal accusations, but his closest deputies are facing conspiracy, weapons, and obstruction of justice charges, and there's reason to suspect that he'll be targeted next. Last year, two former employees testified that Prince had transported "illegal" weapons into Iraq and that "Mr. Prince and his employees murdered, or had murdered, one or more persons who have provided information, or who were planning to provide information, to the federal authorities about the ongoing criminal conduct." In 2008, two Blackwater employees were indicted for murder after a shooting in Afghanistan, and The Nation reports that Prince is currently facing several new civil lawsuits, including one put forth by the company's Iraqi victims. The company has spent the past several years trying to duck bad press—it has renamed itself "Xe Services" and the "US Training Center"—but the efforts have largely been unsuccessful. At the moment, Blackwater is the target of multiple federal investigations, which Prince has likened to a "giant proctological exam." Because Blackwater is so deeply entangled in classified government activity, The Nation speculates that Prince may be laying the groundwork for amnesty by participating in "graymail"—threatening to leak sensitive data in order to escape prosecution. He's also been shedding parts of the multimillion dollar company over the past several months. Earlier this year, Prince sold Blackwater's aviation division for $200 million, and last week, he put the whole thing up for sale. With the government closing in, internal sources tell The Nation that Blackwater's "sale is going to be a fast move within a couple of months" and that Prince is on his way out. The UAE does not have an extradition treaty with the United States, which is likely a key factor in Prince's decision. According to international law expert Scott Horton, the Emirates are "definitely a jurisdiction where Prince could count on it not being simple for the US to pursue him legally." - - - No need to pursue him legally if he flees to the UAE...just have him shot. |

Us Klan types with the gifted albino children think Erik Prince should be King of the world. Go get'um Erik, "King Erik the awful" long live the King! I hear over in U.A.E they have very cute harem girls, very good choice of places to just hang out and spend your$$$, |

Either you are ****ing over your employer, or you are just a Canadian version of Snotty...an unemployable, bitter asshole. My guess...the latter. |

The danger in this is we may be setting up the US Army for the same type of thing. There is plenty of evidence that our military has shot innocent people too. We can't even start to address the number of innocents who get killed in aerial attacks, going back almost 20 years in these ill thought out mid east adventures. That is the nature of a war where virtually all of the combatants are out of uniform, fighting from the cover of civilian neighborhoods. Well, *we* can adhere to higher standards or, better, realize that these wars are pretty much worthless adventures. As for Blackwater and its criminal execs and employees, put 'em on trial and if they're convicted, imprison them. I think the question is whether the Army really does have higher standards about who the lowest common denominator decides to shoot. There are certainly a lot of reports about soldiers just shooting Hajjis out the window of their HumVee for the hell of it. As for air strikes. You hit what you hit, whether that is what you want or not. They do make intelligent munitions that can be deactivated if it looks like they will miss but then you just gave the bad guys the makings of a nice IED. Hard to believe Harry is describing Obama's wars as 'worthless adventures'. |

Not sure about higher standards, but at least those in the military can be prosecuted. The BW crowd may not be. |

Lots of innocents killed with artillery then. During WW II , there were lots more killed with bombs. And of course, there was Korea and Vietnam and probably Panama and a few others. Many like to think only the Bush regime was responsible for killing civilians. Little bit of bull**** there. The difference is, you imbecile, that WW1/2 were not wars of choice; whereas, Iraq was. |

WWII was when the world embraced the mass killing of civilians as being the way to wage war and we call that the "good" war.. Funny huh? We carpet bombed cities, torpedoed merchant ships and were the first people to nuke someone. Like dad always said, there is no such thing as a fair fight. There are winners and losers, we brought our A game and won. Remember, on 12/7 we were attacked. If you poke a sleeping giant you might get stepped on. -- Rowdy Mouse Racing - We race for cheese! |
