pretty lame interview... there's little confusing about what is happening with Eric Prince's company. Get informed!
For anyone interested in what's really going on search www.democracynow.org

Reason for this private army issue?
The Donald Rumsfeld and Current VP CHeney
were BOTH Defense Secretararies in the 90's and
THEY created the private army.
THAT is entire reason... nd it sucks!
We need to reverse this
