Apparently the troops aren't being supported. Though, I'm sure if one of these suicidal dudes saw a yellow ribbon on the back of a H2 he'd prally reconsider.

Embattled State Dept. Official Quits Blackwater Probe Over Brother's Role
By Warren P. Strobel, McClatchy Newspapers
Wed Nov 14, 6:53 PM ET

WASHINGTON � The State Department's embattled inspector general suddenly removed himself Wednesday from investigations into security contractor Blackwater Worldwide, after belatedly acknowledging that his brother sits on a Blackwater advisory board.

The revelation came at a House of Representatives hearing that cited allegations from current and former State Department employees� and the Justice Department � that Inspector General Howard Krongard had impeded investigations into Blackwater and the construction of the $740 million U.S. Embassy complex in Iraq .

The allegations before the Oversight and Government Reform Committee added to the questions about Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's management of the massive U.S. diplomatic presence in Iraq and of the State Department in Washington.



Krongard initially said that he was unaware that his brother, former CIA executive director Alvin "Buzzy" Krongard , had any financial ties with Blackwater. He said he'd asked his brother about "ugly rumors" concerning his relationship with Blackwater and had been assured there was none.

But after Democratic committee members told him that his brother had stayed at a Williamsburg, Va ., hotel where Blackwater's "Worldwide Advisory Board" was meeting this week, Krongard used a break in the hearing to call his brother.

He said that Buzzy Krongard confirmed that he'd been at the meeting.

"I hereby recuse myself from any matters having to do with Blackwater," Howard Krongard announced.

Blackwater, which protects U.S. diplomats in Iraq , is under investigation for a series of lethal shootings of Iraqi civilians.

The revelation dismayed even Krongard's Republican defenders on the committee, who'd attempted to portray the probe by chairman Rep. Henry Waxman , D-Calif., as partisan score-settling.

Your brother "has done you tremendous damage," said Rep. Christopher Shays , R-Conn. "I would be one pretty unhappy guy."

The advisory board role pays a $3,500 honorarium per meeting, according to Blackwater correspondence released by the committee.

It isn't known whether Buzzy Krongard accepted the honorarium.

He didn't return a phone call seeking comment.
