"Anyone interested in the problem with Blackwater, and particularly those of you who are interested in the underlying ethical issues should view the talks at this conference hosted by the Stockdale Center for Ethical Leadership, United States Naval Academy -- I think we can agree not the bastion of liberal wackos. Finally, we see our military establishment starting to think about this! (Talk by Erik Prince was redacted.)" - Ray Lutz

The Moyock-based mercenary firm Blackwater USA has had a bad week. First, its employees shot into a crowd of Iraqis on Sunday, killing at least 11 people. A preliminary report by the Iraqi government states that "the murder of citizens in cold blood in the Nisour area by Blackwater is considered a terrorist action against civilians just like any other terrorist operations."

Now Blackwater is being investigated for shipping illegal weapons into Iraq. Today the News and Observer reported that

Two former Blackwater employees have pleaded guilty in Greenville to weapons charges and are cooperating with federal officials investigating Blackwater, based in the tiny town of Moyock in North Carolina's northeastern corner.

As you may know, North Carolina is not only a military-friendly state, we are a mercenary-friendly state, too. Indeed, the world's largest mercenary army of war-profiteers his headquartered right here in Mayberry-land: Blackwater, USA.
