Blackwater Hearing: Braley's Questions

The Oversight Committee holds a hearing on Blackwater. The hearing examines the mission and performance of private military contractor Blackwater USA in Iraq and Afghanistan. Erik Prince, the owner of Blackwater, will testify as well as three State Department officials. The hearing specifically addresses three key questions: (1) Is Blackwater's presence advancing or undermining U.S. efforts? (2) Has State Department responded appropriately to the shooting incidents involving Blackwater forces? (3) What are the costs to U.S. taxpayers for the reliance on Blackwater and other private military contractors? Rep. Bruce Braley questions Prince.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi

Why do people praise a War Criminal? She still funds a criminal enterprise like Iraq yet says discussions of Impeaching the original crime lords is off the table. She can stop funding the war just as EASILY.

To the person below: let's give you a break and stop this war. There were no weapons to give to terrorists. Imagined Middle East democracies aren't gonna spring from killing 'hajiis', or from more American deaths. If there are people in the world we should want to kill and/or humiliate, they're in western Pakistan right now. Maybe killing hajiis is more entertaining, I just don't know; it just doesn't do much to protect Americans from threats to their security and freedom.
