Blackwater Attempted to Bribe Iraqi Officials

By GottaLaff

Jeremy Scahill will be on The Rachel Maddow Show tonight, so by tomorrow, we'll have video. Meantime, check out this bombshell:

[T]op company officials including then-president Gary Jackson “authorized secret payments of about $1 million to Iraqi officials that were intended to silence their criticism and buy their support,” according to the New York Times.

Yup. More here, like this little tidbit, to which I keep asking, WHY??

At present, Blackwater works in Afghanistan for the State Department, the CIA and the Defense Department.
