Blackwater Allegedly Put Prostitute on the Payroll
Just the latest outrageous allegation against Blackwater, the prosecution-proof mercenary army that somehow ran amok whilst doing the work of god and country overseas: they billed you, the taxpayer, for the services of a prostitute, allegedly. For morale purposes!
The Washington Post reports that former Blackwater employees "assert that Blackwater officials kept a Fillipino prostitute on the company payroll for a State Department contract in Afghanistan, and billed the government for her time working for Blackwater male employees in Kabul. The alleged prostitute's salary was categorized as part of the company's 'Morale Welfare Recreation' expenses, they said." Hey, it's not as bad as post-murder bribery, okay? Allegedly.
