John Ashcroft Is Blackwater's New Ethics Chief
This is not a story from The Onion — although it should be. John Ashcroft is to ethics what Osama bin Laden is to flying.
No idea how I missed this — incredible!
Ashcroft will head Xe’s new “subcommittee on governance,” its backers announced early Wednesday in a statement, an entity designed to “maximize governance, compliance and accountability” and “promote the highest degrees of ethics and professionalism within the private security industry.”
In other words, no more shooting civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan; no more signing for weapons its guards aren’t authorized to carry in warzones; no more impersonations of cartoon characters to acquire said weaponry; and no more ‘roids and coke on the job.
No more getting caught is the plan.
