i've always thought that erik prince had the perfect name for the head of a mercenary outfit. he sounds like someone who would be a james bond villain.
and now it seems that maybe he is a bit of a villain in the spy world. it's not a good state of affairs but it somehow seems appropriate for mr. prince.
my one beef with the nation article is that the author managed to spell "kazakh" two different ways, both of them wrong, in the same sentence. obviously, i'm not usually a stickler for spelling, but the same sentence!
