Henry Waxman of California, to Howard Krongard, the State Department’s inspector general. “You impeded efforts by your investigators to cooperate with a Justice Department probe into allegations that a large private security contractor was smuggling weapons into Iraq,” Waxman told Krongard in a letter dated September 18. Waxman’s letter did not name Blackwater. Waxman has asked the head of Blackwater USA, Erik Prince, to testify before his committee on October 2 on its work in Iraq. The State Department said on Friday it would thoroughly examine the use of private security contractors to protect American diplomats in Iraq. In its statement, Blackwater said that when it was uncovered internally that two employees were stealing from the company, it immediately fired them and invited the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to conduct a thorough investigation. “The employees, who were former Marines and law enforcement, have been convicted and are currently negotiating sentencing in Raleigh with federal prosecutors,” the company said.
