Blackwater Founder Implicated in Murder
A former Blackwater employee and an ex-US Marine who has worked as a security operative for the company have made a series of explosive allegations in sworn statements filed on August 3 in federal court in Virginia. The two men claim that the company's owner, Erik Prince, may have murdered or facilitated the murder of individuals who were cooperating with federal authorities investigating the company.

3. I'd love to see him (Prince) sharing a cell with Cheney... indefinitely
They are two of the most despicable excuses for human life on this earth.

16. "Christian crusader"
The former employee also alleges that Prince "views himself as a Christian crusader tasked with eliminating Muslims and the Islamic faith from the globe," and that Prince's companies "encouraged and rewarded the destruction of Iraqi life."

Say hello to your next Bond villain...

18. Everything else was privatized during the Bush-Cheney years. Why not murder?
But, that's not exactly a new idea.

22. We're getting closer - there's got to be a Cheney link here somewhere.
We know he likes ordering killings of people doing investigations, so this sounds right up his alley.
