MSNBC Countdown w/ KEITH OLBERMANN - 6 August 2009: Blackwater & XE Know Evil. Keith reports on the stories of sworn declarations by former employees of Blackwater, including the murder accusations - in Iraq and involving founder Prince himself - and accusations of employees involved previously in child prostitution, distribution of steroids, and use of prostitutes at 'Blackwater Man Camp' in Iraq.

1. Yet, our tax dollars are still being used to pay them

Why haven't the contracts been yanked?

2. I'm so proud to be an American sometimes.

If this ssort of action was all I knew about America I'd probably want to fly airplanes into buildings too. God help us.

4. He doesn't like being called a mercenary

I read. He'd rather be called a 'civilian contractor'. I remember the first time we learned about the mercenaries in Iraq and realized that those 'civilian contractors' the media was always referring to were not 'builders' as they led us to believe, but paid killers. I was shocked at the time, and want to remain shocked. All that 'money for the troops' nonsense and the media once again, never informed the American people where their money was going.

5. It appers that, once again, the crazy tin foil haters were right...

I remember reading a lot of speculation on DU about what BW was really up to in Iraq...turns out much of it was true + stuff much worse than thought. Pretty much par for the course with anything connected with dubya's administration.
