BLACKWATER TESTIMONY!

Jeremy Scahill has been educating congress about the Blackwater menace. This is a good time to tell our reps what Erik Prince should do with his mercenary army.

The people who control Blackwater, the CEO and heads of departments have been safely flown away... ironicly enough, to the Middle East (Saudi Arabia if memory serves).  So, we can't prosicute them if it comes to light that the thugs they used in N.O. were abusing their authoity.

The Important thing is to ELIMINATE BLACKWATER..

....OR ABSORB IT INTO THE REAL MILITARY. Nothing good can come from an overpaid private army responsible to no law.(my opinion..don't know what MG thinks about it,,???

We can support just about every position of MG. Wish we could get him in the limelight! Congress is still giving this President all the money he wants for his immoral and illegal war! We need Gravel badly, to restore our morality and pride, -our humanity. We are sick of being ashamed of our country. Even of our species. Imagine what life must be like for those poor people Bush has saved. What a luxury it would be to be able to luxuriate in a hot bath, or sleep throuth the night without the worry of having soldiers kick down your door and abuse and steal from you...maybe kill you, or your family. I suppose it is a big advantage to be a politician and devoid of empathy.

I would be more worried if mercs are *absorbed* into the military.  Since Blackwater does not have loyalties to anything but a paycheck, much less then the colorful background that most of these mercs probably have.

Blackwater equipment, resources money etc....just to kill it. Not the soldiers- Most wouldn't qualify probably ---some are not citizens of U.S...

You don't have to be a U S citizen . .

These days it doesn't even matter if you have a violent criminal background.
