Well, from everything I can tell, and this maybe wrong. The administration doesn't have much of a role in determining who actually gets the military contracts. The Secretary of Defense doesn't really have a big role in the process.
I could be 100% wrong on that. I will try to dig up some more evidence to support that tho. Having said all of that, If, and this is a big if, Cheney in some way influenced the pentagon to award any contract to a company different than the one they had already chosen because it would give him more money, then something is wrong there. > -----Original Message----- > From: Kevin Graeme [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 2:09 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: RE: well now > > You're right.
