Blackwater Put Up for Sale
--------------------------



And the private security firm Blackwater is up for sale. Erik Prince,
the former member of the Navy Seals and heir to an automotive fortune
who founded Blackwater, said in a statement given to the Associated
Press late Monday that making the decision to sell the company was
difficult, but that he no longer wanted to deal with the intense
criticism the business has faced.
