19. It's Simple: Blackwater Blackmails
Scahill on http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37920685/ns/msnbc_tv-countdown_with_keith_olbermann/">the Olbermann show:

OLBERMANN: So the CIA is hiring Xe? Does Erik Prince have something on Leon Panetta or somebody in the agency? How did this happen?


SCAHILL: I don‘t think he hands secretly on Panetta sex tape or something. But he does have is a 10-year record of participating in direct lethal actions, including the CIA assassination program, carrying out convert actions of the U.S. government around the world, many of which this administration doesn‘t want made public, the CIA doesn‘t want made public. And so, Prince has been engaging in something called graymail, where you essentially are nervous that they‘re going to come after you, so you basically say to them, “I will show them where some of these bodies are buried and I‘ll tell who buried those bodies.”
So, the Obama administration, I think, is playing a very high stakes chess game right now with Blackwater


This crap was never a way to run even a pretend war. Our Lamest Generation strikes again.
