The power and influence of the mercenary army known as Blackwater peaked in the summer of 2007. Their immense might was clearly demonstrated when the State Department deployed Jean Richter to Iraq to audit the firm's $1 Billion contract with the Pentagon.
From the editorial staff:
Well we've finally decided on a candidate to endorse. We've been waiting to see who would turn out to be more electable. Turns out it was Bernie.
