They are gone. But guess what? Since private 'contractors' outnumber US forces, there will be layoffs at Blackwater. Co-incidentally, Blackwaters' competition will get contracts to increase their numbers, and the contractors will just move to other companies. Or, Blackwater will sub-contract their staff out to competitors.
The same goons will still be there. Nothing will change.

Today's news states that ALL mercenary armies (I refuse to call them contractor companies) are being reviewed by the Iraqi government. They better start packing before we have more mercs hanging from bridges than Christmas lights at Disneyland.

""Unfortunately there are many violations from this company and they have to be subjected to accountability," he said of Blackwater. "We are not intending to stop them and revoke their licence indefinitely, but we do need them to respect the law and the regulation here in Iraq."
(Iraqi President)
Never mind, cancel the party, it's only going to be a slap on the wrist. I guess his US dog handlers gave him a late night angry phone call.

"violations"
I like that. "Let's 'do' the whole village" I guess is a misdemeanour.
