Current Events » in reply to Blackwater's New Contract

"There's a connection between Iraqi corruption and US mercenaries."

"This week, Iraq's former electricity minister, was jailed on corruption charges, and was subsequently rescued from prison by unnamed US security contractors. "

And not only that but any Congressional inquiries into Blackwater are now met under "National Security" guidelines:
>"The US Department of State under the obliging leadership of Condolezza Rice refused to provide a Congressional investigating committee with official documents detailing extensive corruption within the Iraq government. It also intervened on behalf of Blackwater International, telling them NOT TO reveal anything to Congress or the courts about their duties and operations in Iraq--which they claim is a "state secret."
