File Under "Does He Really Mean It?"

Erik Prince, CEO, founder, and sole owner of Blackwater, was given an interesting endorsement the other day.
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), said recently that Prince "is on his way to being an American hero just like Ollie North was".

Ollie, a hero? Really? Hasn't Ollie North been sent to the dustbin of American public opinion for his place in the coverup of the Iran-Contra scandal? Isn't he the one that should have been in prison?

If I were Erik, I suppose I'd like at least one member of Congress defending me, but I don't think I'd accept that kind of recommendation...

Considering the source, however, Prince might think it's a compliment...
