US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said she wanted a no-holds barred probe into the affairs of private security company Blackwater USA accused of involvement in nearly 200 shootings in Iraq.

Rice ordered the probe following fatal shootings by the company's staff in charge of protecting US diplomats in Iraq.

"I have been very clear with people that I expect it to be probing, I expect it to be a 360-degree look, and I expect it to be unvarnished from these outside experts and I'm sure it will be," Rice said of the probe in an interview Monday with the New York Post.

Blackwater has been involved in nearly 200 shootings in Iraq since 2005, according to a US Congress report this week that depicted the company's employees as dangerously out of control.

Blackwater has covered up fatal shootings involving its staff, is the first to shoot in most incidents, and has joined in US military tactical operations, the report released Monday said.

It was also highly critical of the US State Department for failing to restrain Blackwater's activities and helping to cover up some of its wrongdoings -- even protecting a drunken Blackwater employee who shot dead a guard of Iraqi Vice President Adil Abd-al-Mahdi.

A Congressional hearing began Tuesday into Blackwater's work in Iraq and in particular a September 16 shooting incident in a crowded Baghdad square that killed at least 10 Iraqis.

Nearly two weeks after the bloody shootout, the circumstances remain unclear, with Iraqis angry and indignant and the country's leader having demanded Blackwater's expulsion.

The investigation ordered by Rice and headed by Ambassador Patrick Kennedy, is one of four parallel processes reviewing Washington's use of private security guards.

Rice is about to confirm her own suspicions that she's irrelavent and has been kicked to the curb...
