Intesting little tidbit at the end though, apparently the people who criticized the awarding of the no bid Iraq contracts to Halliburton were demoted or fired:
> > Late last month three congressional Democrats asked Defense Secretary > Donald H. Rumsfeld to investigate the demotion of a senior civilian > Army official who publicly criticized the awarding of that contract. > > Bunnatine H. Greenhouse, who had been the Army Corps of Engineers' top > procurement official since 1997, was removed from her position last > month for what the Corps called a poor job performance. The lawmakers > said the demotion "appears to be retaliation" for her June 27 > testimony before Congress in which she detailed her objections to the > award of contracts for Iraq projects. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:172696 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
