Pentagon Gives Blackwater New Contract - 92 mil

http://www.antiwar.com/ips/gharib.php?articleid=11690


A U.S.-based private security firm received a contract worth up to 92 million dollars from the Department of Defense amid hard questions about its involvement in two separate violent incidents in Iraq.

"Blackwater has been a contractor in the past with the department and could certainly be in the future," said the U.S.’s top-ranking military officer, General Peter Pace, at an afternoon press conference here.

The future arrived just two hours later when the Pentagon released a new list of contracts – Presidential Airways, the aviation unit of parent company Blackwater, was awarded the contract to fly Department of Defense passengers and cargo between locations around central Asia.

6. Then comes his brother-in-law!
'Scamway Dick' DeVos will start peddling frightfully expensive laundry detergent and scores of motivational tapes and CDs to feed their parasitic enterprise.

4. Sounds like they will be in charge of smuggling opiates into America
Only reason I can possibly assume they will be flying all over Asia.
