Howard Krongard made the move after learning in a congressional hearing that his brother is a member of the security contractor's advisory board.

Yeh right. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!! I only caught a part of the hearing today.

Great discussion on KO.

They are all laughing their arses off at how easy it is for members of the Corrupt Bastards Club to get rich!

:rofl:

Are you kidding? He's done a heckuva job.

that his brother was on the Blackwater Board. And how corrupt is Eric Prince? This incestuous brotherhood called Bushco must be be brought to judgement.

Krongard's elder brother, A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard, was chief executive of Alex. Brown & Sons in Baltimore before serving in the No. 3 position at the CIA.

Testifying under oath before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee yesterday, Howard Krongard at first denied as an "ugly rumor" that his brother had any financial interest or position with Blackwater. "I specifically asked him," Krongard insisted.

But Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, a Baltimore Democrat, produced a letter from Blackwater chairman Erik Prince asking "Buzzy" Krongard to serve on the firm's advisory board.

When Howard Krongard disputed it, Cummings went on, producing an e-mail sent from Blackwater to his brother, dated Sept. 5, that said, "Welcome and thank you for accepting the invitation to be a member of the board."

Cummings also observed that the Blackwater board was meeting in Williamsburg, Va., this week, "as we speak."

His brother served from 1998 until 2004 as counsel and executive director of the CIA under George Tenet, the previous director. In the 1950s, he was a championship lacrosse player at City College and Princeton.

Howard Krongard returned from a break in the hearing yesterday, saying he had contacted his brother, who confirmed his relationship with Blackwater. He said he would immediately recuse himself from all Blackwater investigations.

...the elder Krongard, 71, confirmed that he attended his first meeting of the Blackwater board of advisers Monday night and Tuesday. He denied any conflict of interest between his position on the board and his brother's service as State Department inspector general. "Why would there be a conflict?" he said. "My brother operates independently of me, as I do of him.

"Maybe there is an appearance of a conflict of interest," he said.
