The State Department's top security officer, Greg Starr, told reporters Friday that because the FBI is still investigating the shootings, there is no justification now to pull the contract when it comes due in May.
Blackwater has a five-year deal to provide personal protection for diplomats, and its contract is reauthorized each year. The decision announced Friday extends Blackwater's deal for the third year.

yeah, especially the people in the military who make less than half the wage that Blackwater mercenaries do and have to actually abide by a code of ethics that has been laid out by real men of honor .... |

| Since most Blackwater employees are former military, couldn't it be said that Blackwater is kinda' like the military's version of grad school? |

It's the company's responsibility to ensure that crimes are not commited by their employees and to punish the criminals when they are.
This has not happened so the company deserves any denigration it gets. |
