Twitter API - Is it broken or am I using it wrong?

When I ask it to display 10 tweets, I get one. When I say 11, I get 3. But when I say 20, I get 20. Am I doing something wrong?

This is my code:

    <div id="twitter" class="widget">
    <div class="twitter-header"></div>
    <div class="twitter-content">

    <ul id="twitter_update_list">
        <li>Twitter feed loading</li>
      </ul>

    </div>
    <div class="twitter-footer"></div>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js"></script> 
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/trekradio.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=10"></script>

Authentication is now required on user_timeline (see: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/statuses/user_timeline) and version 1 of the API has retired since June 11, 2013 (see: https://dev.twitter.com/blog/api-v1-is-retired).

So, if anyone gets stuck on @Terence answer, go look at the changes in the current API.

The problem is that you're not seeing retweets in the timeline. Sadly, with the method you're using, you can't use

include_rts=1

Change the line to

https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json
    ?screen_name=trekradio
    &include_rts=1
    &callback=twitterCallback2

That will retreive the JSON with all the retweets in the timeline.
