RNC to Host Event at Blackwater Compound

The military-industrial complex in action: The Republican National Committee, fresh off a spate of bad press after the leak of an internal memo encouraging fundraisers to capitalize on “fears” of President Obama, will host an event in April at a compound owned by the company formerly known as Blackwater. The RNC will gather its “Young Eagles”—major donors under 40—at the U.S. Training Center in Moyock, North Carolina. The facility calls itself the nation’s “premier weapons and tactics training facility.”
