CIA 'Shut-Down' In Iraq

Pajamas Media is reporting that the Iraqi government's revocation of Blackwater's license to operate as a private contractor inside the country is having a major effect on US forces. From the article:

"What caused the shut down? Following a firefight between Iraqi insurgents and a Blackwater USA protection detail on Sunday (12:08 PM Baghdad time), Iraqi officials suspended the operating license of the North Carolina-based government contractor. While the Iraqi government is yet to hold a formal hearing on the matter, Blackwater and all it protects remain frozen."

Blackwater's services are provided to a huge number of US interests in the area, including: oil companies, construction crews, shipping convoys, intelligence officials, diplomats, and dignataries. Find more on Black water here and here.
