Reports: Blackwater is "protecting" in Haiti
By GottaLaff
For those readers who aren't on Twitter, this comes to us via Jeremy Scahill:
Nice. Good. This should go a long way to improve their image. Why not just send Karl Rove out to defend President Obama's policies while they're at it?
And these thugs are on the government payroll why again? Oh, wait. I know. Our military is stretched tighter than Joan River's face.
Meanwhile, on his web site, Jeremy reports the welcome news that Jan Schakowsky is preparing legislation to ban Blackwater:
Schakowsky says Blackwater has “severely damaged the credibility and security of our military and harmed our relationship with other governments” [...]As multiple scandals involving Blackwater continue to emerge almost daily, Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence is preparing to introduce legislation aimed at ending the US government’s relationship with Blackwater and other armed contracting companies.
You can read the whole thing, including Schakowsky's letter, here.
And good for her.
That's long overdue.If you need some background on who these criminals are, read my Blackwater for Dummeez primer here.
