Comment: Experts say flap over no-bid contracts has no merit news.mysanantonio.com .....<font size=4>During the Clinton administration, the Pentagon issued a temporary no-bid contract to KBR<font size=3> to continue its work in the Balkans. In the months leading up to the Iraq war, Defense officials realized they needed plans in case Saddam Hussein once again set his oil wells ablaze. <font size=4>KBR<font size=3> did the study under Logcap. Then in February, with the war looming, Pentagon planners issued an additional bridge contract to <font size=4>KBR<font size=3> to put out any fires that were set. <font size=4>KBR<font size=3> had the experience. Its personnel were in place. It would have been crazy to open up a three-to-five-month bidding process at that time...... <font size=4> KBR = Halliburton subsidiary, Kellogg, Brown & Root
