His late father, auto-parts magnate Edgar Prince, was instrumental in the creation of the Family Research Council, one of the right-wing Christian groups most influential with the George W. Bush administration. By 2005, Blackwater was earning $353 million annually from federal contracts. (Knight) Joseph Schmitz, chief operating officer and general counsel: In 2002, President Bush nominated Schmitz to oversee and police the Pentagon's military contracts as the Defense Department's inspector general. Schmitz presided over the largest increase of military-contracting spending in history. (Knight) J. Cofer Black, vice chairman: Black spent most of his 28-year CIA career running covert operations in the Directorate of Operations, where he worked with Rob Richer (below). At the time of the 9/11 attacks, he was director of the CIA's Counterterrorism Center. There he was former CIA Director George Tenet's ace in the hole when it came to convincing Bush that the CIA should lead initial U.S. combat operations in Afghanistan after 9/11. (Knight) Rob Richer, vice president for intelligence: Richer was head of the CIA's Near East division -- and the agency's liaison with King Abdullah of Jordan -- from 1999 to 2004. In 2003, he briefed President Bush on the nascent Iraqi insurgency. In late 2004, he became the associate deputy director in the CIA's Directorate of Operations, making him the second-ranking official for clandestine operations. (Knight) Fred Fielding, former outside counsel: Fielding has had a long career as a lawyer to prominent Republicans. In January 2007, Bush chose him as White House counsel. (Knight) Ken Starr, outside counsel: Worked for George W. Bush. Starr petitioned Chief Justice Roberts on behalf of Blackwater, asserting that the company was "constitutionally immune" to the lawsuit. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 311143 Switzerland 10/11/2007 08:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Colorful History - Knights of the Malta... check out the two links, second one covers it well [link to www.smom.org] This is the official site of the Federal Association of the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta (commonly known as the "Order of Malta"). The Order of Malta is a lay, religious order of the Catholic Church. It is a Hospitaller order, founded in Jerusalem during the eleventh century. Members of the Order seek to glorify God through his or her work with the sick and the poor and witness of the Catholic faith. There are approximately 11,000 Knights and Dames of Malta around the world. They belong to one of 54 national associations or priories. There are three national associations in the United States: the Federal Association is based in Washington, DC; the American Association is based in New York; and the Western Association is based in California.... [link to www.knightsofmalta.com] In addition to honours bestowed in these ranks, the Grand Master confers an Order of Merit. Recipients of this Order "Pro Merito Melitensi" are individuals who have rendered outstanding service to the Order of Malta or its works; unlike knights and dames of the Order itself, those in the Order of Merit need not profess the Catholic Faith. The Sovereign Military Order of Malta observes as its feast day Saint John's Day, June 24th. The Order of Malta has ambassadors or diplomatic representatives in more than eighty nations, and enjoys Permanent Observer status at the United Nations General Assembly. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 311454 United States 10/12/2007 03:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | <b>Cofer Black</b> had a 28-year career in the Directorate of Operations at the Central Intelligence Agency, culminating in his appointment as Director of the CIA's Counterterrorist Center (CTC) in June 1999. Since February 2005, Black has been Vice Chairman of Blackwater USA [link to en.wikipedia.org] from earlier link: The father of the CIA, “Wild Bill” Donovan, was a Knight of Malta. In order to be a director of the CIA you must be a crusading Knight of Malta and it doesn’t hurt if you are a member of Skull and Bones either. In order to reach the highest levels in the Pentagon establishment, you must be an illuminated Freemason and/or a Knight of one order or another. Notable US military members of SMOM include top crusading generals such as Alexander Haig, William Westmoreland, and Charles A. Willoughby, an admitted Fascist. The order and its members have been proven to be linked with the “Rat Run”, the post-WWII escape route used by high-ranking Nazis and death camp scientists from defeated Germany to the Americas. Sovereign Knight of Malta passports were issued with false identities that allowed escape from prosecution for war crimes. |
