Erik D. Prince (born June 6, 1969 in Holland, Michigan) is the founder and sole owner of the private military company Blackwater USA.

Prince's father founded the Family Research Council with Gary Bauer. Eric Prince was an intern in the White House under President George H. W. Bush<6> and subsequently criticized that administration's policies to the Grand Rapids Press, saying:

I saw a lot of things I didn't agree with -- homosexual groups being invited in, the budget agreement, the Clean Air Act, those kinds of bills..

This is a video where Democracy Now!'s Amy Goodman interviews her colleague and author Jeremy Scahill, who has written a book about Blackwater.

He also has held a lecture about his book, in four youtube-videos, and the videos are titled Blackwater Shadow Army in Iraq, here's part one, you'll find the rest in the side box.

1. the book

i reccomend jeremy's book, Blackwater: the rise of the largest mercenary army.

super informative, and not just about privatization of war... good insight into some secret organizations that have way to much say
in our country's foreign policy
