Blackwater, Xe eller Academi. Oavsett vad de kallat sig för har de alltid varit CIA:s privatarmé.

Grundaren, Erik Prince erkänner nu att de ökända inhyrda legoknektarna som spelat en nyckelroll i USA:s invasionskrig de senaste åren, kontrollerats av CIA.

Erik Prince, founder of Blackwater - now known as Academi - claims his firm “became a virtual extension of the CIA,” taking orders from the agency. 

In an interview published Thursday by the Daily Beast, Prince revealed how deeply connected Blackwater was to the Central Intelligence Agency, especially in the early 2000s.

Last month, federal prosecutors dropped felony charges against Blackwater personnel after it was revealed that the employees had been acting under the orders of the US government.

After a three-year-long prosecution, most of the company’s executives walked free and two men received nothing more than probation, house arrest and $5,000 fines.

BLACKWATER USA... del 1

BLACKWATER USA... del 2

U.S. commanders in Iraq ignored evidence of torture and often failed to investigate the killing of civilians.

These are the major findings from the leak of 400,000 secret American military files from the whistleblowing website, WikiLeaks. 

The data describes widespread brutal torture of detainees by Iraqi troops - with some documents showing American authorities often turned a blind eye.

The files also reveal that 66,000 civilians were killed in Iraq since the U.S. invaded - even though Washington had denied it kept any such record. The Pentagon's condemned what is the largest-ever leak of classified documents - saying it will only serve to help America's enemies.
