Founder of Blackwater will have a shocking Benghazi claim on

Last edited Thu Nov 21, 2013, 08:45 PM - Edit history (1)

CNN's "Outfront" with Erin Burnett. Up soon (it is the second or third story - it is now 7:01). Just an fyi.

Edited to add:

Prince is claiming Chris Stevens would be alive if Blackwater had been in charge of security in Benghazi.

I wonder if the right is going to make this out to be a failure of public versus private contractors. Just sounds like marketing to me.

They are all loonies. AmWay is the family business and they basically own Grand Rapids, MI.

If this is the guy I think it is.

around in mercenary circles, as there always is. I just want us to get ahead of it because we know the GOP will bite. I don't know where that story has gone. Been watching and nothing.

Probably more of the same shit. I'm hoping against hope he'd turn on his handlers. Wishful thinking I'm pretty sure.

Mercenaries are willing to fight for the highest bidder not for country or principle. They can't be trusted. I should have known.

All Prince's publicist had to do was just SAY the word "Benghazi" and CNN can't give him a prime interview slot fast enough...
