#5  Blackwater 'defrauded US by billing for prostitute in Kabul'

Let me get this straight. The media still refers to a known terrorist as the “alleged” Ft. Hood shooter. But disgruntled ex employees make public allegations prior to a lawsuit and they get a declarative headline like this? The convenient use of quotation marks might give them legal cover but without source association this is ethically bankrupt. I know “journalistic integrity” seems to be an oxymoron these days but C’mon man.

#2  Members of a private security firm in Baghdad. It is alleged that Blackwater hired strippers under "cleaning services"

The controversial American security firm Blackwater is facing new allegations of gross misconduct after two former employees said the firm repeatedly defrauded the US Government, including billing it for the use of a Filipina prostitute in Afghanistan.


Where do I put this expense, boss?
Which expense?
It says here "Cleaned her pipes".

In a federal lawsuit Melan Davis, one of the former employees, accused the security firm of employing the prostitute in Kabul, and billing the Government for her aircraft tickets and monthly salary under the “morale welfare recreation” expenses category.

Snicker. Sounds about right.

Note to Melan: Living a little close to the edge, aren't you? Next time why don't you jump in front of a moving bus or stick your tongue out at Mike Tyson.
