Yesterday, Erik Prince the founder and CEO of the controversial Blackwater USA, spoke to the U.S. Congress.
For four hours, he was grilled by the politicians and his performance was very impressive.
Erik Prince -says its entry in Wikipedia- is noted for disliking having his photo taken and distributed; he often uses his hands to shield himself from photographers.
While attending a technology conference in North Carolina, he was visibly uncomfortable when photographed on stage and officials asked that the images not be published.
He also frequently turns down interview requests.
Some have claimed that this is due to fear of terrorist reprisals for his role in creating Blackwater USA.
Watch here the video of this fasciating hearing on private security contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
