Blackwater back to Iraq黑水回到伊拉克
Outrage over the killings prompted the Iraqi government to demand Blackwater’s ouster from the country.愤怒杀人，促使伊拉克政府的需求，黑水的落选从该国。 But after an intense public and private lobbying campaign, Blackwater appears to be back to business as usual.但经过了激烈的公共和私人游说活动，黑水似乎是回到照常营业。
The State Department has just renewed its contract to provide security for US diplomats in Iraq for at least another year.国务院刚刚续约的合同，以提供安全保障的美国外交官在伊拉克在至少一年。
Threats by the Iraqi government to strip Western contractors of their immunity from Iraqi law have gone nowhere.威胁，伊拉克政府带西部的承建商，他们的豁免权，从伊拉克法律已是行不通的。
The chief reason for the company’s survival?行政的原因，公司的生存呢？
State Department officials say they do not believe they have any alternative to Blackwater, which supplies about 800 guards to the department to guard diplomats in Baghdad.美国国务院官员说，他们不相信他们有任何替代黑水，供应约800名警卫署卫队外交官在巴格达。
Officials say only three companies in the world currently meet their requirements for protective services in Iraq, and the other two don’t have the capability to take on Blackwater’s role in Baghdad.官员说，只有三家公司在世界上目前满足他们的需求，为保护在伊拉克的服务，和其他两个不有能力采取对黑水的角色在巴格达。
The State Department did not even open talks with the other two firms, DynCorp International and Triple Canopy, to see if they could take over from Blackwater after the shooting in September.美国国务院甚至没有公开会谈，与其他两家公司， DynCorp公司的国际和三重天篷，看看他们是否可以接管从黑水在枪击事件发生后，在9月。
We cannot operate without private security firms in Iraq,” said Patrick Kennedy, under secretary of state for management.我们不能运作，私人保安公司在伊拉克，说： “帕特里克肯尼迪，根据国务秘书管理。 “If the contractors were removed, we would have to leave Iraq.” “如果承包商被拆除，我们将要离开伊拉克” 。
Still, serious legal risks remain for Blackwater and at least some of its current and former personnel.但是，严重的法律风险仍然存在，为黑水和至少它的一些现任和前任工作人员。
A federal grand jury continues to consider evidence in the Baghdad shooting.一个联邦大陪审团仍然认为证据在巴格达拍摄。
Although the company is not likely to face any criminal charges, people involved in the case say that some Blackwater guards involved in the shooting are cooperating with the FBI as it pursues evidence against other guards.虽然该公司是不是有可能面临的任何刑事指控，人涉及此案的说，一些黑水警卫所涉及的枪击事件是配合联邦调查局的，因为它奉行的证据，对其他警卫。
Separately, a former Blackwater guard is under criminal investigation for the December 2006 shooting death of an Iraqi guard for the vice president of Iraq, and may soon face federal charges.另外，一名前黑水民警卫队是根据刑事调查，为2006年12月枪击死亡的一名伊拉克警卫，为副总统，伊拉克，并可能即将面临联邦指控。
In a third case, two former Blackwater personnel have pleaded guilty to weapons-related charges, but earlier this year both received sentences that included no jail time in return for their cooperation with federal prosecutors in a broader investigation.在第三宗案件中，两个前黑水人员已认罪，武器有关的收费，但在今年早些时候都被判刑，其中包括不会坐牢时间，以换取他们的合作与联邦检察官在更广泛的调查。
A committee of the House of Representatives has also asked the Internal Revenue Service to launch an inquiry into whether Blackwater has designated its guards as independent contractors rather than employees to in order to avoid paying and withholding federal taxes.一个委员会，美国国会众议院还要求国内税收服务推出一调查是否黑水已指定其警卫作为独立承包人，而非雇员，以避免支付和扣压的联邦税。
The State Department renewed the security contract for only one year - just long enough to take the company into the start of the next administration.美国国务院重申安全的合同只有一年-只要足够长的带领公司进入开始的下一届政府。 And Blackwater’s political connections to the Bush administration may not serve it well if the Democrats take the White House in November.和黑水的政治联系，布什政府可能不会服务好，如果民主党采取白宫在11月。
Given the furor that surrounded Blackwater after the September shooting in Baghdad, critics say the decision to renew the company’s contract in Iraq is a sign of the Bush administration’s inability to curb its reliance on outside contractors in the war.鉴于反驳说，包围了黑水后， 9月拍摄在巴格达，批评人士说，决定延长该公司的合约，在伊拉克是一个迹象，布什政府的无法遏制其依赖于外部承包商在战争中。 –IRNA -伊朗
