Joseph Schmitz, is a lawyer, he was Inspector General or chief internal watchdog at the Pentagon since March 2002. He is also a member of Opus Dei and the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. (see more)He is also Jeb Bush's brother in law. In a letter dated June 15th 2005 posted on the Inspector General's website September 20th he excused (recused) himself from examinig Blackwater because he may seek employment with them.
He headed investigations of a wide range of scandals, famously the sexual assaults at the Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs.
"Nearly 12 percent of the women who graduated from the United States Air Force Academy this year were the victims of rape or attempted rape in their four years at the academy in Colorado Springs, with the vast majority never reporting the incidents to the authorities, according to a survey by the inspector general of the Defense Department"
Rate of Rape at Academy Is Put at 12% in Survey By DIANA JEAN SCHEMO NYT August 29, 2003
Three years of investigations , reports , Senators jumping up and down resulted in one prosecution ....
Civilian prosecutors said Wednesday they will not file charges against an officer accused of sexually assaulting a female cadet while both attended the Air Force Academy, according to The Associated Press.
Prosecutors said they weighed Colorado laws with the investigative reports on Capt. Joseph Harding, whose alleged assault on a fellow cadet in 2000 sparked a scandal at the academy.
Chief prosecutor Diana May said authorities concluded they could not meet the required burden of proof.
This was after , a military judge in September 2006 dismissed a rape charge against Harding because the accuser’s therapist refused to release her medical records on grounds that they were confidential.

By what I read, so far: An interesting blog, sir. Chapeau.
perhaps the common people of Britain could start an emergency fund and hire Blackwater to get rid of Brown and his cronies.
