Der Chef von Blackwater, vermutlich die grösste Söldnerarmee der Welt, soll ein Mörder sein und als fanatisch fundamentalistischer Christ sich auf einem anti-Islamischen Kriegszug befinden. Sagen zwei ehemalige Söldner unter Eid, schreibt The Nation:

A former Blackwater employee and an ex-US Marine who has worked as a security operative for the company have made a series of explosive allegations in sworn statements filed on August 3 in federal court in Virginia. The two men claim that the company's owner, Erik Prince, may have murdered or facilitated the murder of individuals who were cooperating with federal authorities investigating the company. The former employee also alleges that Prince "views himself as a Christian crusader tasked with eliminating Muslims and the Islamic faith from the globe," and that Prince's companies "encouraged and rewarded the destruction of Iraqi life."
