The Nation‘s Jeremy Scahill and Keith Olbermann discuss the explosive news
Scahill broke on Tuesday
: Blackwater’s founder, Erik Prince, has
been accused, in sworn depositions from two former employees, of
murder. Scahill notes that Blackwater being involved in scandal is “no
great surprise,” but the explosive details in the report confirm
Prince’s view of the war in Iraq as a religious crusade. More
importantly, Scahill says, the Justice Department is in possession of
this information, and according to the attorneys in the civil case
from which these depositions came, Prince could be eligible for murder
charges.

More of Scahill’s coverage of Blackwater for The Nation is
available here.

Thank you for reading The Nation!

We hope you enjoyed the story you just read. It’s just one of many examples of incisive, deeply-reported journalism we publish—journalism that shifts the needle on important issues, uncovers malfeasance and corruption, and uplifts voices and perspectives that often go unheard in mainstream media. For nearly 160 years, The Nation has spoken truth to power and shone a light on issues that would otherwise be swept under the rug.

In a critical election year as well as a time of media austerity, independent journalism needs your continued support. The best way to do this is with a recurring donation.

We call these monthly donors Sustainers, a small but mighty group of supporters who ensure our team of writers, editors, and fact-checkers have the resources they need to report on breaking news, investigative feature stories that often take weeks or months to report, and much more.

There’s a lot to talk about in the coming months, from the presidential election and Supreme Court battles to the fight for bodily autonomy. We’ll cover all these issues and more, but this is only made possible with support from sustaining donors. Donate today—any amount you can spare each month is appreciated, even just the price of a cup of coffee.

The Nation does not bow to the interests of a corporate owner or advertisers—we answer only to readers like you who make our work possible. Set up a recurring donation today and ensure we can continue to hold the powerful accountable.
