A former Blackwater employee in a sworn statement alleged that CEO Erik Prince “views himself as a Christian crusader tasked with eliminating Muslims and the Islamic faith from the globe,” and that Prince’s companies “encouraged and rewarded the destruction of Iraqi life.”
The allegations also include Blackwater killing Iraqis cooperating with a State Department investigation into Blackwater, weapon smuggling, and use of weapons outlawed by the Geneva Convention.
The US government should never have outsourced its war to a mercenary corporation. And the reason is demonstrated in Blackwater’s behaviour in Iraq.
