From the mainstream press:


RALEIGH, N.C. – Two former Blackwater Worldwide employees say the security company repeatedly billed the U.S. government for excessive or inappropriate expenses, including a prostitute for workers in Afghanistan and strippers in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.


In a federal lawsuit filed in Virginia, Brad and Melan Davis say Blackwater officials also deceived the government by double-billing for travel costs and creating false invoices. They say the U.S. government "has been damaged in the amount of many millions of dollars in funds." Brad Davis also claims he witnessed acts of excessive force by company workers in Iraq.


A federal law enforcement official told The Associated Press that federal authorities in Virginia were investigating whether Blackwater had overbilled for its State Department work. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.


Blackwater or its workers have also faced federal probes for shootings in Iraq and Afghanistan and accusations of arms smuggling.


An audit released last year found that the State Department could have been able to recover $55 million from Blackwater because the company didn't provide the personnel necessary to fulfill its contract during the months examined in 2006 and 2007.


Davis, who was fired from the company and is challenging her dismissal, said she also helped with record-keeping for Blackwater's response in Louisiana to Hurricane Katrina. Among other charges of excessive billing there, Davis said two workers paid a vendor for "cleaning services" but the vendor would instead provide strippers.

It is, and even sadder that we're the ones paying them.

Throughout history mercenaries were always seen as the lowest scum of the earth and rightfully so. Men with no loyalty to king or country but only to coin and the spoils of war. Murderers for hire shat out from the cunt of the underworld to become the slavering dogs of war despised and reviled by friend and foe alike.

It's sad how quickly we forget such things.
