Blackwater: On A Crusade

First off, I encourage everyone to read Jeremy Scahill's book, Blackwater: The Rise Of The World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army or at least peep all that Scahill has to say.

Turns out Blackwater's founder is on a crusade to eliminate Muslims and Islam.

A former Blackwater employee alleges that founder Erik Prince "views himself as a Christian crusader tasked with eliminating Muslims and the Islamic faith from the globe," and that Prince's companies "encouraged and rewarded the destruction of Iraqi life."
Men also allege that Blackwater was smuggling weapons into Iraq.

Is it wrong of me to write these guys off completely because they claim that Blackwater smuggled:

"Sawed off, semi-automatic machine guns with silencers"

That's a combination of traits that I'd really like to see on a firearm. If you're stupid enough to put this in a legal document, chances are you're stupid enough to lie about/exaggerate plenty of other things.

Talk like that only aids the enemy. ;)

I don't care if Blackwater didn't smuggle any weapons in and loves Iraqis. They should still go down in flames.
