9. Turn it upside down and shake it. When keys don't work on this one

it is usually dirt, and crumbs getting in the way. A good upside down shake might do the trick.

4. thanks - helpful

oh the / and ? are also working but the upside down w is not nor the letter that sounds like an "s" or "k" and the darn "u" with a point in the lower end does not work either -

5. www.stopblackwater.net has many article links, also google Jeremy Scahill and read his book!

I'm a journalist who has written many articles on Blackwater's attempt to open a training camp in the San Diego area (Potrero). Also checkout the fine articles published in the Virginia Pilot; they were nominated for a Pulitzer.

6. are you familiar with other

"blackwateresque" types over there? (or here, for that matter.)

10. There are many other private military contractors.

Jeremy Scahill's book lists some.
There's a film on this, too, Iraq for Sale. It gives a scathing look at KBR, Halliburton, Blackwater and other war profiteers.

Here in Southern California there are training bases popping up everywhere for Blackwater competitors such as Wind Zero and Halcyon Canyon.

In Iraq today there are as many private contractors as U.S. soldiers - a far, far higher percentage than in any past war.
