4.5
 by Dwight Rousu - Aug. 5, 2009

Scahill provides an excellent report of allegations against Prince of Blackwater including murder of witnesses, murder of Iraqis, arms smuggling, destruction of evidence, extreme racism, money laundering, and deploying unfit sociopaths to Iraq. The closeness of Prince to the Bush administration are barely mentioned, however.

Prince's attitude that ordinary morals do not apply to him, and his holy war against muslims, makes him sound like the military arm of the C Street christian mafia. Criminal charges are needed to add to the civil suit charges.
