Former CEO reveals Blackwater worked as ‘virtual extension of the CIA’

But according to the documents Blackwater submitted in its defense—as well as an email exchange I had recently with Prince—the contractor’s relationship with the CIA was far deeper than most observers thought. “Blackwater’s work with the CIA began when we provided specialized instructors and facilities that the Agency lacked,” Prince told me recently...Reflecting on the prosecution and the scrutiny of the company he founded, Prince said the charges against Blackwater executives left him “perplexed and angry.” “Blackwater carried out countless life-threatening missions for the CIA,” he said. “And, in return, the government chose to prosecute my people for doing exactly what was asked of them.”

So his defense is to blame the CIA? Given that the CIA was likely doing all sorts of illegal crap under Bush, why wasn't this exposed years ago?

Investigate those who were in charge of the CIA and prosecute this asshole.
