Default Suit: Prostitute, strippers part of Blackwater fraud

Two ex-Blackwater Worldwide employees allege the company charged the government for a prostitute and strippers and kept incompetent personnel for financial reasons, part of what they call a systematic pattern to defraud authorities.

Melan Davis, who was involved in record-keeping, said Blackwater billed the government for prostitution services in Afghanistan from a Filipino female, whose name was on Blackwater's payroll roster under a category called "Morale Welfare Recreation."

What do you think of the possibility that your tax dollars may have paid for Blackwater's prostitute and strippers?

Jail them and the people who allowed them to exist in the first place, much less participate as a private army in an illegal war.

It makes me kind of happy that people are not accepting their transparent evasion tactic of a name change (Blackwater is now officially "Xe")

administrations change, but corruption continues and we now have obama's choice of triple canopy to replace blackwater/xe:

Obama's Blackwater? Chicago Mercenary Firm Gets Millions for Private "Security" in Israel and Iraq | World | AlterNet

it is very unlikely that anyone from either organization is going to be prosecuted because these companies are personally selected by the administrations in power.

prostitutes and strippers? what do you think politicians are, they prostitute themselves all them time and noone calls them on it, noone from either party.
