HAVE GUN, WILL TRAVEL

Or, Teaching Benighted Natives about Democracy & Free-Enterprise, One (or more) Gory Massacre at a Time

An interesting book recommendation on the guys who made William Walker look like an amateur.

NICE!
read about the "holy blackwater angels" as the 700 club seems to think of them...that's a fun show...how to barely watch the news, then make up the rest and then make it all about jesus...bet pat robertson's thanking his lucky stars someone made something up for him...would hate to have to field questions about the morality of wasted lives wasting more lives...but then, i digress

I’ve heard it said that the family that founded Blackwater are extreme right-wing Christian zealots who are helping Jesus to return by starting Armageddon.

To be fair, I also read on the BBC that Eric Prince did not oppose lifting contractors’ immunity. I guess he figured that if staff are drunk, armed, and above the law, team meetings could get very tense…

Oh, wow. That's scary stuff. I suppose I need to watch the news more often and get my head out of books and video games...

Still, nice blog here.
