What You Won't See Today at the Waxman Hearings

http://www.iraqslogger.com/index.php/post/1237/What_You_Wont_See_At_The_Waxman_Show

<snip>

On Wednesday, Erik Prince and his PR person will not appear. Their legal counsel will be the person to faces the slings and arrows of the families of Blackwater contractors. An odd choice for an industry that prides themselves on bravery.

What will not be discussed will be the 12 lawsuits lodged against Blackwater, the murders commited by Triple Canopy employees while working for KBR, the shooting of a vice presidential bodyguard in the Green Zone by an alleged Blackwater employee on Dec 24th, the jail break of a suspected embezzler by DynCorp employees, the fleecing of taxpayers by Custer Battles and the numerous murders of Iraqis by yet to be determined security companies.

The best the government can come up with is a rehash of the April 2004 murder of four Blackwater contractors, without the key people who could provide insight.
