Hired Guns

The controversial mercenary company Blackwater may be in trouble. Their CEO Erik Prince has been accused of more nasty crimes as reported in a Nation article by the most excellent journalist Jeremy Scahill. Blackwater has tried to "rebrand" itself after all the trouble they caused by pointing weapons at American servicemen and firing their weapons at Iraqi civilians, but to no avail, a Kleenex is still a Kleenex and a company of freebooters is still anti American and a threat to anyone who stands in their way. Here is some footage of another reckless gang of hired thugs called Aegis randomly killing Iraqis. I guess they were bored. Well I bet our buddy Erik Prince isn't bored, and to quote a commentor from Huffington Post, "the Prince is about to become a Princess". I bet he goes on the lam if it looks like this will stick. Argentina likes it's war criminals. Hable espagnol?

UPDATE: Video from Crooks and Liars, oh this is good! Onward Chrisitan Soldiers....
