Charges weren't dropped for the president, nor the vice president of Blackwater, therefore your first comment is incorrect....Reading is fundamental Bill Brasky

You are correct, reading IS fundamental, re read my first post, I made NO reference to anyone specific person(s). I do not understand you you constantly attack my posts. Any specific reason?

Would like to see them be this tedious for a conviction with "Fast and Furious". How many have died now due to the giving of guns to the Mexican drug lords?

We'll never know how much money was spent to keep em out, but I'm betting most of us would live very comfortable.

"I still believe we have the best justice system in the world," Jackson added." I bet you do, sir. Got off with a slap on the wrist, despite breaking multiple weapons laws.

So I guess this wasnt the scandal we were looking for either

"In this whole thing I just wonder who was there to profit by taking Blackwater out of the security business"

Well according to the article Blackwater changed their name and are still in the "security" business, and still being fined for illegal activities.

"Prosecutors also dropped all charges against former general counsel Andrew Howell, former procurement vice president Ana Bundy and former weapons manager Ronald Slezak."

Charges weren't dropped for the president, nor the vice president of Blackwater, therefore your first comment is incorrect....Reading is fundamental

In this whole thing I just wonder who was there to profit by taking Blackwater out of the security business. Probably an insider "who's your buddy" game. Or a group who thought they were not accountable, and probably were for a while.

"Facts show they were fined and put on probation. Therefore your first comment stating charges dropped was incorrect....and that was with a dream team of attorneys to defend them. All they had to do was change their name 3 times...lol" Bill Brasky

See QUOTE from article below: Facts show they were fined and put on probation. Therefore your first comment stating charges dropped was incorrect....and that was with a dream team of attorneys to defend them. All they had to do was change their name 3 times...lol Bill Brasky

"Prosecutors also dropped all charges against former general counsel Andrew Howell, former procurement vice president Ana Bundy and former weapons manager Ronald Slezak."

Reading is fundamental.

"Read it and stand by my comment, which is based on the history of the case. I base my comments on facts not attacks."

Facts show they were fined and put on probation. Therefore your first comment stating charges dropped was incorrect....and that was with a dream team of attorneys to defend them. All they had to do was change their name 3 times...lol
