The AP reports that Uncle Sam is considering booking former Blackwater execs on weapons charges relating to 22 weapons stashed at the company’s North Carolina headquarters. Blackwater suits under the gun: former president Gary Jackson, former lawyer Andrew Howell, and an unnamed third employee. What’s the hurry? “The potential charges stem from a raid conducted by federal agents in 2008 that seized 22 weapons, among them 17 AK-47s.” In a post-raid interview with the AP, Blackwater said it wazzunt me. Kinda. They claimed they kept the (illegal) automatic weapons on behalf of the Camden County sheriff’s office as a “professional courtesy.” And they had the paperwork to prove it.
