Former
Blackwater Guard Working at Monroe Prison By Associated Press September 12, 2008 Seattle – A former
Blackwater security guard under investigation for a shooting death in Iraq
has been hired as a prison guard in Monroe. The Department of
Corrections says Andrew Moonen was hired in February at the Monroe
Correctional Complex. A spokeswoman says he passed a criminal background
check and remains employed. The 28-year-old Seattle man
is a former Army Ranger who was working for Blackwater on Christmas Eve 2006
when the bodyguard of the Iraqi vice president was shot to death in Baghdad. The case has been discussed
in congressional testimony. The U.S. attorney's office
in Seattle is investigating Moonen, and says it will decide by the end of
this month whether to seek an indictment. External link: http://www.theolympian.com/northwest/story/583007.html |
