Bill Moyers Journal, airing Friday, October 19th at 9 on PBS, examines what's behind Prince's recent blitz of television interviews defending his private security firm when officials in Iraq said they wanted the company out of their country in the wake of the shooting deaths of Iraqi civilians on September 16.

Erik Prince "crosses the Rubicon". I am glad there are reporters like Scahill who notices and has the guts to report and speak out against it. I wouldn't want Erik Prince to think I was an enemy of his. I wonder what all those mercenaries will be called on to do once they return from Iraq ?

In October, the Army plans to station an active unit inside the US for the first time to serve as an on-call federal response in times of emergency. The division will be under the control of US Army North. The Army Times says this mission is the 1st time an active unit has had a dedicated assignment to Northern Command. The unit may be called to help with civil unrest & crowd control. Soldiers are learning to use "nonlethal" weapons designed to subdue unruly or dangerous individuals and crowds.

Why do you assume he's a Democrat-because he talks like he has a brain in his head? Because he actually reports the news?

This is a war on the poor, which make up the majority or will make up the majority of the people as they continue to drive down the value of the dollar. They see the masses of the people as a threat to their ever increasing control and seek ways to alleviate and/or remove this threat. We are the threat because we will fight for our lives and well being.
