Blackwater Bribes

Remember back in 2007, when Blackwater got some bad press for shooting 17 Iraqi civilians? American and Iraqi investigators had declared the shooting to be unjustified. And Blackwater was afraid they’d get thrown out of Iraq which would lose them their State Department contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Turns out, Blackwater executives authorized a million dollars in bribes to Iraqi officials to silence their criticism

Classy.

No wonder they changed their name to Xe.
