: Dispatches from the Culture WarsFormer Employees Accuse Blackwater of Serious Crimes
By Ed Brayton
Two former employees of Blackwater (now called Xe), a private military contractor founded by Michigan native Erik Prince, have submitted sworn affidavits in a federal court case in Virginia alleging that Prince is motivated by anti-Muslim religious fervor and that he and his company are responsible for serious crimes, including murder.
The affidavits were filed under seal with the men referred to only as John Doe 1 and John Doe 2, but their testimony is sworn under potential perjury in official court documents. Both men testified to personal knowledge of Blackwater engaging in illegal arms smuggling into Iraq, Blackwater guards routinely engaging in unjustified violence against Iraqis and even of murdering other former employees who were ready to blow the whistle on them.
