There are over 120,000 private contractors currently deployed in Iraq and yesterday, a House panel put some of the harshest criticisms of this privatization of war into the congressional record for the first time. The House Appropriations subcommittee on defense held a hearing on Thursday about defense contracting. Testifying before the panel was journalist Jeremy Scahill and filmmaker Robert Greenwald. Jeremy is a Democracy Now! correspondent and an investigative reporter for The Nation magazine. He is author of the book "Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army." In his opening remarks, he spoke about the lack of oversight of the tens of thousands of contractors deployed in Iraq.

milzz100 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
for the interests of the rich and the powerful wherever that might be

rofl!! yeah, an ex navy seal that's a hardcore christian is totally the personality type that turns against the US government.. get real.. blackwater is an evil corporation, but it's evil is used largely to our government's interests.

watever you say you moronic idiot China was a farfetched example the point still stands what allegiance by Eric Prince hes the elite they could care less about the patriotism and more about profit watever
Gangularis (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
if you understood the allegiances of Erik Prince, you wouldn't be such a dumbfounded moron. There are certainly other private contractor companies that would, and probably do, work for China.. but China has no interest in attacking us. We're their biggest customer.. Seriously, quit being so fucking stupid, and wasting my time with your moronic debate. You very obviously know VERY LITTLE about this company and the big picture.

man Im sorry but youre dumb and you do not get the point if tomorrow the power shifts to another continent you think blacwater wont switch sides comon the whole point is that they could work for other country for security reasons nowhere those it say that they exclusively work for US face it
Gangularis (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
man, i'm sorry.. but you're dumb.. i almost feel sorry for you.. I'm extremely anti-blackwater, anti-military industrial complex.. It's just I think you're stupid to think china could ever use blackwater against our government. Blackwater is based in the united states, the guy that created it is an ex navy seal.. his motivations are largely about money, but also about serving our government's interests and goals.
