DOJ Gives Blackwater A Whitewash On Felony Charges

[ Blackwater was forced to rebrand itself as ‘Xe’ a few years after Iraq was attacked again in 2003

 – following an ‘image problem’

that it managed to create for itself

by helping to enable war crimes.  ]

Something funny happened in the Eastern District of North Carolina today.

Out of the blue in an extremely significant case,

and without particular notice to interested observers,

much less the public,

the criminal case against former Blackwater executives

for weapons trafficking,

and a myriad of other weapons violations,

ended.

Poof!

Gone with an undeserved and inexplicable sweetheart misdemeanor plea.
