House Democrats Slam Blackwater In Hearing

Private Security Company Boss Under Fire For Deaths Of Iraqi Civilians

(CBS/AP)  Blackwater chairman Erik Prince vigorously defended his private security company on Tuesday, rejecting charges that his staff acted like a bunch of cowboys immune to legal prosecution while protecting State Department personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"I believe we acted appropriately at all times," Prince, a 38-year-old former Navy seal, told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

In written testimony, Prince insisted that his guards opened fire only after being shot at, but he never got the chance to say that because it is now a criminal case, reports CBS News national security correspondent David Martin.

The State Department has asked the FBI "to take a fresh look" at the Sept. 16 shootings that left 11 Iraqis dead, reports CBS News correspondent Bob Orr. The team is comprised of eight FBI agents, all trained in evidence response. They depart Tuesday for Iraq and hope to wrap up their on-site investigation in a matter of days, not weeks.

But in Iraq, it has never mattered before, reports CBS News foreign correspondent Elizabeth Palmer.

There hasn't been a single prosecution of a foreign security contractor since the invasion. Early on, American officials gave them immunity from Iraqi justice. And U.S. legal experts can't agree on where, or even if, they can be prosecuted elsewhere, adds Palmer.

The Sept. 16 incident and others, including a shooting by a drunk Blackwater employee after a 2006 Christmas party, has raised pointed questions by lawmakers about whether the government is relying too heavily on private contractors who fall outside the scope of the military courts martial system.

"Privatizing is working exceptionally well for Blackwater," said Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., committee chairman. "The question for this hearing is whether outsourcing to Blackwater is a good deal to the American taxpayer, whether it's a good deal for the military and whether it's serving our national interest in Iraq."

Waxman said he agreed not to probe for specifics of the Sept. 16 incident during Tuesday's hearing, upon request by the Justice Department that Congress wait until the FBI concludes its investigation. But Waxman said it was still appropriate to probe Blackwater's company policies, and whether the State Department helped Blackwater cover up Iraqi deaths.

In particular, Waxman said he was concerned to learn the State Department advised the company on how much to pay the family of an Iraqi security guard shot by a drunken Blackwater employee in 2006. Internal e-mails later revealed a debate within the State Department on the size of the payment, Waxman said.

"It's hard to read these e-mails and not come to the conclusion that the State Department is acting as Blackwater's enabler," Waxman said.

The House committee's report, prepared by the panel's Democratic majority staff, also said Blackwater has been involved in 195 shooting incidents since 2005.

In more than 80 percent of the incidents, called "escalation of force," Blackwater's guards fired the first shots even though the company's contract with the State Department calls for it to use defensive force only, it said.

Administration officials, speaking on condition of anonymity to describe an ongoing investigation, said the incident had been referred to federal prosecutors in Seattle, where the former Blackwater employee now lives, but there has been no public announcement of any charges.

Prince said the individual was immediately fired and fined.

"But we as a private organization can't do anything more. We can't flog him, we can't incarcerate him," said Prince, adding that he would be "happy to see" further investigation by law enforcement.

The Blackwater chairman said he also supports legislation that would guarantee Blackwater employees and other private security companies working for the State Department are subject to prosecution in U.S. courts. The House was expected to pass such a bill, sponsored by Rep. David Price, D-N.C., later on Tuesday.

Waxman also cited a November 2004 crash in Afghanistan of a plane piloted by Blackwater pilots as an example of what he said is the company's cavalier attitude about how it operates.

The crash of flight "Blackwater 61" killed the Blackwater crew and three U.S. military personnel who were passengers. According to information gathered by Waxman's staff, the Blackwater pilots lacked experience flying in Afghanistan, yet they were joy riding through a valley before crashing into a canyon wall.

I can not believe that people don''t see it that a small part of America is still living in the dark ages. They think that Viet Nam was fun and games. Just goes to show you how really stupid some people are.

[gkc99]

Blackwater provides the Bushit administration with two valuable commodities: a "round-trip" of money from the US Treasury (taxpayer) to Blackwater to the Republican National Committee, and a private police force that the fascists can and will use for domestic law enforcement if their control is ever seriously threatened. Bushit the Younger did it in New Orleans; Bushit the Elder did it in California. Except it caused a problem for Bushit the Elder to use the regular Army for oppression of US citizens, and a private Army like Blackwater is accountable only to its owners. That''s why Bushit the Younger has built this force of Endtimers and Bornagains to carry out the program of killing off unbelievers in the Bushit administration.

[gkc99]

"killing off unbelievers in the Bushit administration."

To clarify: in killing off those US citizens who don''t believe in the Bushit administration and who might resist the Bushit administration.

But then in 2000, well before his arrest, something happened which would make Abas question everything he believed in: a fatwa, a religious edict, was issued by Osama bin Laden.

"It should be understood that killing Americans and Jews anywhere found are the highest act of worship and the highest form of good deeds in the eyes of Allah," Simon quotes bin Laden.

Abas and his fellow commanders were ordered to read the fatwa to their men and make sure they carried it out. The others obeyed, but Abas refused. It was his moment of truth. He firmly believed that jihad was to be fought only on the battlefield in defense of Islam; he had always been taught that the killing of civilians had nothing to do with holy war and that it was forbidden.

The fatwa justified killing non-Muslim civilians everywhere.

For example, in 1981, the Iranian representative to the United Nations, Said Rajaie-Khorassani, articulated the position of his country regarding the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by saying that the UDHR was "a secular understanding of the Judeo-Christian tradition", which could not be implemented by Muslims without trespassing the Islamic law.

But the accepted assumption in India is that most of India''''s Muslims were converted to Islam through the sword. Meaning the Indians were given an option between death or adopting Islam. The third option was getting examined in Islam religion along with heavy taxes- Jeziya (poll tax) and Kharaj (property tax).

It is an unfortunate fact that we can secure peace only by preparing for war. John F. Kennedy

There''''s a graveyard in northern France where all the dead boys from D-Day are buried. The white crosses reach from one horizon to the other. I remember looking it over and thinking it was a forest of graves. But the rows were like this, dizzying, diagonal, perfectly straight, so after all it wasn''''t a forest but an orchard of graves.

John Adams

[lars008-2009]

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature, and has no chance of being free unless made or kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. John Stuart Mill

It is well that war is so terrible, or we should grow too fond of it. Robert E. Lee

A self-respecting nation is ready for anything, including war, except for a renunciation of its option to make war. Simone Weil

If there must be trouble let it be in my day, that my child may have peace. Thomas Paine

Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realise that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events. Winston Churchill

One ought never to turn one''''s back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Winston Churchill

We American tax payers have given a single company $1,000,000,000? Who dares argue this war is not about war profiteering in the government connected, private sector. These companies have purchased the representation of the American people for pennies on the dollar. The only people who are going to pay are everyday Americans and Iraqi citizens. The U.S. government has stolen the equivelant of a single years pay plus interest from every man, woman and child in the entire country and filtered the majority of that money to a select very, very wealthy few. I can''t even imagine what happened to all Iraq''s oil, military equipment, bank money and government assets.

What we have here is a case of a well connected company (Blackwater) that made the right contributions to the right Republicans. The return on the money spent (contributions) was better than any investment portfolio. Here%u2019s a glimpse of where the donations went. Erik Prince, Blackwater USA founder
$230,250* Republican
$5,000 Green
$1,000 Reform
$20,500 special interest
total: $256,750
The return on this investment is astonishing, over one billion dollars in no-bid contracts in Iraq, with no oversight and no accountability of any kind. Not bad for a company that was founded just 11 years ago.
Prince is also a board member of Christian Freedom International, a nonprofit group dedicated to helping persecuted Christians around the world (somehow I fail to see how the founder of a mercenary for hire company and board member of Christian Freedom International go together, without an extremist element on his part). By the way, I have a newsflash for Christian Extremists: Jesus had long hair, was counter-culture, wore sandals, hung out with lepers and ****** and loved to preach peace. That doesn%u2019t sound like any of the Christians from the religious right.

I don''t trust Ron Paul. He has been part of the Republican party and has remained silent for years as this wave of neo con fascism continued to build. As a libertarian he has endorsed the anti-government rhetoric that has led to privatization, increased secrecy and elitism amongst elected officials. He watched the decline in infrastructure of cities in all areas of service, while profits increased for a few at the cost of a responsive society focused on quality and service for the common good. Ron Paul longs for the early Reagan republican years like many republicans which is like saying, "We sure felt our oats having fun picking all the fruit from the garden and getting high on meth but now the fruit is all picked and gone because we didn''t want to replenish it cause we needed the money for the meth and now we''re strung out. Lets vote for Ron Paul because he says he can take us back to those early Reagan years.

Again this maggot Waxman is wasting time, endangering lives and doing what he does best being a chronic whiner just like Carl Levin, Check Schummer, Fiengold, Fienstein, Boxer and the rest of the s.c.u.m.b.a.g.s. I guess this i.d.i.o.t did not realize it was these people who protected his fat a.s.s when he was over visiting Iraq. Next time they should hang him out to dry.

The question is "whether outsourcing to Blackwater is a good deal to the American taxpayer," he said of Blackwater, which has been paid more than $1 billion in government contracts since 2001."

Christ Almighty, that''s an easy one! NO!!!!

All Blackwater has done is spend tax money to stir up more trouble, more violence, which in turns needs more money to supply more guns/bombs which stirs up more violence, which then needs more money.....

Nothing but a downward spiral away from accomplishing anything postive and an upward spiral of cost to us, the taxpayer.

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country." - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"Iraq''''s search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

Isn''t lars so clever? This makes all of Bush''s war-mongering just ducky. And Clinton''s bj makes all of Bush''s crimes against this country and humanity just fine.

When lars gets victimized by some criminal, by lars logic our court system should let the perp go free, simply because some other person DID IT FIRST.

Which we all know, lars would not appreciate.

He won''t. He''s a keyboard coward - he''s all for the troops going into battle and getting killed, as long as he can sit safely on his computer copy and pasting the same *** 100''s of times a day.

It seems that the whole democratic party is a sell out to their secret President, George Soros and his new world order. This is not the people''s party. It hasn''t been for years. It''s the party of small interest groups funded by a rouge billionaire who believes the only obstacle to the New World Order is America. Compliments of George Soros, MediaMatters and MoveOn. They are all bought and paid for.

Hey, screwball, those troops out there are volunteers. They know exactly what they''ve gotten themselves into. If you want to treat yourself like a victim, that''s your perrogative. Our troops are not victims and they would kick your azz for implying it, Mr. Key Board hero.

Ignorance will get you no where. Ignorance, a word derived from ignore....ignoring the truth is to remain enslaved to the ideologies and the gains of others. The truth will set you free. Privatized security forces unaccountable to the constituency based on the larger society goes completely against the grain of the constitution of the U.S. and is a threat our freedoms and our sovereignty from a wealthy power base rooted in globalization. We the people cannot allow our way of life to be purchased by a global elite who employ private security to defend their wealth and power in the U.S. and the world. Some things cannot be for sale. We cannot be the foolish generation that sold america to private special interests who duped us using fear, religiosity and twisted half truths.

These people where hired to do a job most of you would not have the balls to do. They were hired to protect visiting diplomats. If you don''t like the job they are doing go there and do it for them. Otherwise keep your idiotic conspiracy thoughts to yourself. And In case you did not realize it, they are in a foreign country risking their lives, not on the streets of America.

And the FBI is involved just to practice their investigating skills !!

How much money has Blackwater and the State Department paid out because of Iraq wrongful deaths ?
