Erik Prince Is Back

Dec 2nd, 2011

Not in the literal sense, but he is in the news again and in typically loathesome fashion.

TPM reports:

"Jan Schakowsky says that former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince has "attempted intimidation" of her in response to Schakowsky’s campaign to reduce U.S. reliance on private military contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Schakowsky (D-IL) spoke on the House floor Wednesday about a letter from Prince’s attorneys, dated October 7, 2011, that was delivered by hand to Schakowsky’s office. The letter accuses Schakowsky of making "false and defamatory" statements against Prince."


That Mr. Prince is in the news rather than prison continues to defy human decency. We will be watching this closely.
