The Head of Mercenaries a Murderer? No!

Remember Blackwater (a.k.a. Xe)?

Oh, man. Man, oh man, oh Manischewitz.

Investigative reporter and Blackwater/Xe expert Jeremy Scahill is now reporting in The Nation that Erik Prince may have murdered or facilitated the murder of cooperative witnesses in government investigations of the company.

This is one of those explosive stories that's likely to get lost while the crazies/assholes are out screaming at the lawmakers attempting to reform health care.

It's also one of those stories that while surprising also feels inevitable. I'm somewhere between exclaiming, "I can't fucking believe it!" and "That makes a whole lot of sense."

It's like a really good movie when that twist really works. Except this is real and seriously deadly.
