It's always just been a way for the Military Industrial Complex to keep the spigot of spending open as our tax dollars poured out.

The Bush Administration was paying Blackwater Mercenaries $150 an hour ... to do the same job as our American Soldiers got paid $10 an hour; it was horrible for morale.

The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee has issued a strong warning to the Defense Department over plans to award $1 billion in new contracts to the firm formerly known as Blackwater, accusing managers of the private security company of lying to win lucrative jobs in Afghanistan.

Sen. Carl M. Levin (D-Mich.) also cited a history of allegedly abusive behavior by Blackwater employees, including misappropriation of government weapons and hiring of workers with criminal records that included assault and drug offenses.

Levin did not directly say that the Pentagon should cancel its plans for the contracts but urged officials to "consider the deficiencies" in Blackwater's performance before making a final decision.
