Erik Prince flees to Abu Dhabi

To avoid paying for all his crimes against humanity:
In documents filed last week in a civil lawsuit brought by former Blackwater employees accusing Prince of defrauding the government, Prince sought to avoid giving a deposition by stating that he had moved to Abu Dhabi in time for his children to enter school there Aug. 15.
Prince does not face any criminal charges, but five former top company executives have been indicted on federal weapons, conspiracy and obstruction charges. Two guards who worked for a Blackwater-affiliated company face murder charges from a 2009 shooting in Afghanistan, and the Justice Department is trying to revive its prosecution of five former Blackwater guards accused of killing 17 Iraqi civilians in 2007.
I would say, "Good riddance to bad rubbish", but what's to stop him from setting up shop in Abu Dhabi?
Knocking off a top-flight
Knocking off a top-flight Christianist mercenary entrepreneur would be a feather in the cap of any anti-American organization. Odds are he'll be assassinated inside of a year. Frying pan, meet fire.
Do good. Be nice. Have fun.
There's that, for sure
And if I were one of his children, I'm not sure if I'd be looking forward to attending school there, public or private. And the "Bring your dad to school so he can talk about his job" day thingie would be extra stressful...
it sure makes the commute...
...to "meet and greets" at halliburton's corporate hq a lot shorter...
