1. Are these people part of allies? . ..

This guy is very anti Muslim.

18. Dump them on the American taxpayers?

Dump them on the American taxpayers?

Human trafficking?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Totally grifty-ass Republican, all the way.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

4. Are American taxpayers or are the people trying to get out of Afghanistan paying him?

This is criminal.

5. How is it that planes are leaving empty? Whose planes are these?

6. Blackwater founder Erik Prince enters video game business

(CNN) -- More and more, today's video game business is driven by huge military shooters like Activision's "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" and Electronic Arts' "Battlefield 3."

Now, Erik Prince, the founder of a controversial, real-world military group, is stepping into the virtual war zone with a new first-person shooter, "Blackwater."

Designed exclusively for Microsoft's Kinect for Xbox 360, "Blackwater" was developed by Zombie Studios and overseen by Prince, a former Navy SEA

7. He is a perfect example...

...of just how deep the corruption has gone in this country.

8. Dumb Question

How can he get flight clearance? You can't just fly a plane into Kabul.

[Haggard Celine]

12. I'd like to know that, too.

Also, if the people he's carrying aren't citizens and they don't have passports or visas, where does he take them? And if they're applying for asylum, do they go to the front of the line? Lots of questions need answering if this is true!

[ScratchCat]

15. Further

How is he getting into contact with these people? How is he finding them? How do they know about him?

I don't believe it.

What is the possibility he is trying to extract illegal contractors and merc's and using this story as cover? There is no way he is "rescuing" Afghan nationals or people without US passports, ID's or visas.

17. He should be the subject of another congressional investigation.

[PatSeg]

19. I'm wondering that as well

[bluedevil4]

9. I've been hearing

about private companies and veterans banning together to go around the government to get people out of Afghanistan.

I didn’t believe it

[Phoenix61]

10. Wouldn't be at all surprised. Bribery seems to be

how government works there.

[bluedevil4]

20. seems criminal

to me.

14. Exactly. How the fuck is this asshole any better than the guys that charge

mega-bucks to "escort" poor and desperate Central Americans across the U.S. border?

[Firestorm49]

13. Who authorized his involvement and why?

[keithbvadu2]

16. Recommend to the Taliban that they practice some capitalism. Charge Prince a hefty fee for running h

Recommend to the Taliban that they practice some capitalism. Charge Prince a hefty fee for running his business.
