1. What a load of wha-wha-wee-wee....
From the link in the OP.
" "I put myself and my company at the CIA's disposal for some very risky missions," Prince told Vanity Fair for its January issue. "But when it became politically expedient to do so, someone threw me under the bus." "

Do they never take responsibility for their actions?

5. He's a Jesus jumper who had the conceit of building a holy army
to do his bidding when Armageddon came. Since he was doing gawd's work, there can't possibly be any blame attached to him for his crimes!

Such is the reasoning of the Dispensationalist wack job.

6. Oh yeah, he had quite a clear agenda and went balls out to achieve it
Now he's a victim. The wounded puppy syndrome. They can bite but when they get pushed back it's all "Whaa-whaa-wee-wee and you kicked my widdle knee".

7. Too bad for him. His Fundamentalist Army of God
didn't work out. Cheney and Bush are gone and they don't Beleeve right.

No theocracy for you!

4. he's still retaining *some* ownership rights
So this is a PR stunt. Especially the bit about him becoming a HS teacher. :puke:
