US Extends Iraq Contract for Blackwater Firm
Matthew Lee, The Associated Press: "State Department officials said Wednesday they have extended a contract with a subsidiary of the security firm once known as Blackwater USA despite the fact the company is not allowed to work in the country. Three officials said the contract with Presidential Airways to provide air support for US diplomats was temporarily extended because the firm chosen to replace it is not yet ready to take over. The contract was due to expire on September 3 and be taken over a day later by DynCorp International."
