Contractor Opening(S) for SEALs
Hoping this is 'fake news"..


Quote:
EXCLUSIVE: 'American mercenaries are torturing' Saudi elite rounded up by new crown prince - and billionaire Prince Alwaleed was hung upside down 'just to send a message'
  • Source in Saudi Arabia says American private security contractors are carrying out'interrogations' on princes and billionaires arrested in crackdown
  • Detained members of Saudi elite have been hung by their feet and beaten by interrogates, source says
  • Among those hung upside down are Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, an investor worth at least $7 billion who is being held at Riyadh's Ritz Carlton
  • Arrests were ordered three weeks ago by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman
  • Source claims mercenaries are from 'Blackwater', a claim also made by Lebanese president
  • But its successor firm denies it has any operations in Saudi Arabia whatsoever and says its staff abide by U.S. law
  • Americans who commit torture abroad can be jailed for up to 20 years

Well, for one thing, there is no “Blackwater” since 2009. It was rebranded to Xe, and later to Academi.

Real life Game of Thrones. The CInC endorses it too

Didn't the kingdom purge three princes named by Abu Zubaydah after 9/11? Car crash, died of thirst in the desert, etc.

It's business as usual for the house of Saud

When I first read the story about a week ago the said these people were rounded up, put in a 5 star hotel and had to sleep on mattresses... Not much of a story. Looks like huffington, washington post types have tried to jazz it up. Americans in Saudi, a Company that isn't? Where's Bruce Willis?

Perhaps even a misunderstanding, maybe they were just physical therapists? Often when we are in a different place, strange bed many of us feel like a little traction
