Top Democrat (Henry Waxman) questions Blackwater deals in Iraq
Top Democrat questions Blackwater deals in Iraq
RALEIGH, N.C. California Representative Henry Waxman wants answers from the military about why North Carolina-based Blackwater was paid so much for work in Iraq at taxpayers' expense.
Representative Henry Waxman wrote to outgoing Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld that it's unclear how much taxpayers paid because the Army has not answered questions first raised two years ago.
Waxman also argues that Blackwater's services were prohibited because the Army never authorized the company or any other Halliburton subcontractors to guard convoys or carry weapons.
Waxman, the incoming chairman of the House Government Reform Committee, asked if and how the Army intends to recover taxpayer funds paid to Halliburton and Blackwater for services prohibited under the Halliburton contract.
