The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that Blackwater founder Erik Prince is charging $6,500 to people who want to evacuate Afghanistan.

It is exploitative and evil that Prince is charging a fee, let alone an exorbitant one, for our Afghan allies who likely live in or near poverty. More than 47% of the Afghan population lives below the poverty line. Many of those at Kabul airport risked their lives to help the United States during the almost-20-year war. They now seek to escape the Taliban, who are already making it hard for people to get to the airport in Kabul.
