The Nation magazine reports the Obama administration has extended a contract with the company formerly known as Blackwater for more than $20 million for “security services” in Iraq. Since President Barack Obama took office in January, the State Department has contracted with Blackwater for more than $174 million in “security services” alone in Iraq and Afghanistan and tens of millions more in “aviation services.” The latest contract was extended just days before two former Blackwater employees alleged in sworn statements filed in federal court that the company’s owner, Erik Prince, views himself as a Christian crusader tasked with eliminating Muslims and the Islamic faith from the globe.
