Yet another instance where Keystone Kops would qualify as an improvement--your private security contractors in action (another h/t to Rising Hegemon):
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., 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. Blackwater is based in Moyock, N.C.
The U.S. attorney for the eastern district of North Carolina, George Holding, and a spokeswoman for Blackwater did not return calls seeking comment Friday. Pentagon and State Department spokesmen declined to comment.
No commment--duh. I don't think I'd comment either if I was THAT dumb. But, combined with a media that would need long pointed fangs before even being accused of sheep-like behavior going ahead glossing this stuff over while reserving genuine vitriol for Move On ads, it's just par for the Rethuglican course...
Pathetic.
