Blackwater owner Erik Prince tells his side of the story with Lara Logan on CBS '60 Minutes' on Sunday, October 14, at 7:30 p.m. Eastern time, and 7:00 p.m. Pacific.Speaking to Logan at his North Carolina headquarters in his first TV interview since the October 2 Waxman hearing, Prince says that Congress should update the law to provide more oversight of the private security contractor industry.
"We absolutely want more oversight. We welcome the accountability. We want a good name for this industry," he says. Concerning the September 16 incident in Iraq in which Iraqi civilians were killed in an incident involving Blackwater and unknown shooters, Prince says, "I'm glad the FBI's investigating. I'm glad they can be a neutral party. And if there's further investigation or prosecution even needed, if someone really did wrong and meant badly, I'm all supportive."
