The Associated Press: Blackwater Wanted Iraqi Military Planes

The Associated Press: Blackwater Wanted Iraqi Military Planes: "Blackwater USA tried to take at least two Iraqi military aircraft out of Iraq two years ago and refused to give the planes back when Iraqi officials sought to reclaim them, according to a congressional committee investigating the private security contractor.

Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, wants the company to provide all documents related to the attempted shipment and to explain where the aircraft are now.

In a letter sent Friday to Erik Prince, Blackwater's top executive, Waxman said he learned of the 2005 attempt from a military official who contacted the committee. That official is not identified in the letter, nor is the type of aircraft."

"Hmmm, I like these war planes, let's ship them home and play with them a bit..." I can't believe the arrogance that Blackwater seems to have. They believe staling aircraft from an occupied country is right. It is kind of scary thinking about what they could do with such hardware...
