If Obama and Holder don’t have the guts to put these crooks in jail his administration is hopeless. 2 Ex-Workers Accuse Blackwater Security Company of Defrauding the U.S. for Years WASHINGTON — Two former employees of Blackwater Worldwide have accused the private security company of defrauding the government for years by filing bogus receipts, double billing for the same services and charging government agencies for strippers and prostitutes, according to court documents unsealed this week. In a December 2008 lawsuit, the former employees said top Blackwater officials had engaged in a pattern of deception as they carried out government contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and in Louisiana in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The lawsuit, filed under the False Claims Act, also asserts that Blackwater officials turned a blind eye to “excessive and unjustified” force against Iraqi civilians by several Blackwater guards. Blackwater has earned billions of dollars from government agencies in the years since the Sept. 11 attacks, when the company won contracts to protect American diplomats in Iraq and Afghanistan. The former employees who filed the lawsuit, a married couple named Brad and Melan Davis, said there was little financial oversight of the money. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/11/us/11suit.html

A government contractor involved with hookers? Where's James O'Keefe when we need him?

When I hear the words 'ex-workers', the words disgruntled employees comes to mind.

I would still lend some credibility to their accusations, govt contractors have been doing that sort of thing for generations. Remember the old joke? You want to pay me $45 Billion to build a bomber that is invisible? Okay it will be ready this time next week.

As if Blackwater had not had so many allegations of fraud and criminal activity against them in the past that they actually changed the name of the corporation in some lame attempt to pretend they were starting out with a clean slate.

"Ms. Davis was fired from the company, and she is challenging the legality of her dismissal. Mr. Davis voluntarily resigned from the company." No axe to grind there.

There have been plenty of cases of legitimate whistleblowers that were fired.
