: Legal Pad | LASecurity firm accused of covering up Christmas Eve party murder
By Richard Binder
A federal lawsuit filed in San Diego claims an intoxicated employee of a private security agency randomly murdered an Iraqi vice president's guard after a 2006 Christmas Eve party and the company tried to cover it up.
The suit filed Thursday claims that Blackwater, which has since changed its name to Xe, spirited the employee, identified in court documents as Andrew Moonen, out of Iraq and attempted to cover up the killing by bribing an Iraqi official and destroying documents.
Beyond the specific incident, the lawsuit alleges that Blackwater has "created, fostered and refused to curb a culture of lawlessness and unaccountability" among its employees, never disciplining or firing guards who killed innocent Iraqis. The suit also claims heavily armed Blackwater employees were routinely sent into Baghdad while under the influence of steroids and other "judgment-altering substances."
