unfortunately i'm not holding my breath. state dept. shall either ignore its puppet govt. or employ a different batch of cowboy brigands.

ah, or the revocation shall just get eaten by the diplo-babble face-save monster:

"Blackwater said it had not been formally notified of any expulsion. The US state department also said Washington had not been informed of the licence cancellation."

also, wonder if this shall trigger any more fallujah-like uprisings.

this morning i think i heard a brief bit on npr (i was in the other room, didn't hear the whole thing) that the person that introduced the bill would ammend it to allow blackwater to stay but would, of course, look to hold them accountable. wow, that spark of independence last almost 24 hours.

blackwater could always create a subsidiary.
i liked the line "...raising questions over which nation should regulate tens of thousands of civilian hired guns operating in Iraq."
