Blackwater Mounts a Defense With Top Washington Talent

<It has hired a bipartisan stable of big-name Washington lawyers, lobbyists and press advisers, including
the public relations powerhouse Burson-Marsteller, which was brought in briefly, but at a critical moment,
to help Blackwater’s chairman, Erik D. Prince, prepare for his first Congressional hearing.>

Of course Mark Penn of the PR firm Burson-Marsteller which is doing the P.R. work for Blackwater
and is a senior adviser to Hillary Clinton's campaign now says about the work his firm is doing,

"I know nothing .... it is being done in another office." Great liberties taken w/ his quote.
