The BBC has an update on the Blackwater story. Note the last paragraph especially. There's a test of wills on the horizon, and with many U.S. politicians already calling for al-Maliki's removal, he may feel plenty of pressure to back down. He should press on with his review of all the mercenary outfits operating in his country, and the American people ought to support him. The idea that the United States would ever depend on mercenaries to accomplish any military purpose should make the Founding Fathers burst from their graves, muskets in hand. Mercenaries were probably the only thing they considered worse than an actual standing army, and that, too, should clue you in on how far gone this country is.
