@hmfic04 What international law has he broken? Have we done anything abt Erik Prince engaging in the same conduct? -
@emptywheel 1, Bout was trading arms w/ FARC/Charles Taylor , et al; 2, Rakesh Saxena/Sandline is better example and he got slapped by CAN -
@hmfic04 Bout was trading arms w/Charles Taylor AND THE US. He was trading MANPADS w/a DEA informant, not FARC. -
@emptywheel bout was a dude who traded arms with whomever was buying. He sure wasn't supplying IL76/AN12s & not care about what was in them. -
@hmfic04 Yes. As I noted, his clients included the US. But how is that different from Erik Prince? Is arming Bahrain to kill Shiites cool?
