Regarding the Dec. 3 Associated Press story "Blackwater founder is bitter over leak about CIA program":
It may be necessary for you to begin defining terms you use in stories. "Leak" is not the word I would use to define information the CIA director is required to present to Congress. I understand that Blackwater's Erik Prince may not appreciate the fact that the millions of dollars paid to his firm to assassinate top al-Qaida operatives resulted only in the deaths of innocents, but it is not a "leak."
Additionally, "thrown under the bus" is another term that Prince should correctly recognize. It was not him, but rather his employees, co-workers and the American system of ethics that were so treated and will not recover.
