“Fascinating information has emerged from the federal government’s attempt to prosecute employees of Blackwater Worldwide for murder and other violent crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan. The US government’s case against Blackwater fell apart because Blackwater’s employees were perpetrating the crimes under direct orders from the US government. Blackwater, it seems, was not just a contractor hired by the US government and the CIA. In effect it was the CIA. In an interview today, Blackwater founder Erik Prince admitted that Blackwater functioned as virtually a ‘private’ extension of the CIA.”
