Feds probe whether Blackwater security firm smuggled weapons into Iraq

14 hours ago

WASHINGTON - Federal prosecutors are investigating whether employees of the private security firm Blackwater USA illegally smuggled into Iraq weapons that may have been sold on the black market and ended up in the hands of a U.S.-designated terrorist organization, officials said Friday.

The U.S. Attorney's Office in Raleigh, N.C., where Blackwater is based, is handling the investigation with help from Pentagon and State Department auditors who have concluded there is enough evidence to file charges, the officials told The Associated Press.

The U.S. attorney for North Carolina, George Holding, and a spokeswoman for Blackwater did not return calls seeking comment Friday. Pentagon and State Department spokesmen declined to comment.

2. Good morning, my dear Southpawkicker...

Nope, I'm not one little bit surprised...

Nor am I surprised that the MSM isn't really reporting this in very much detail...

Jim Lehrer talked about this last night, but didn't mention the details...

3. Maybe the war on terrorism would go a little better

if we didn't keep on supplying the terrorists with weapons?

But what the fuck do I know

4. I'm with Ptah

I'm surprised there's an investigation but I'm certainly not surprised at the charge.
