Jacob, re >1. no direct government involvement. They pay the bills, and outsource the job.< Sort of like energy deregulation, eh? Actually, sometimes the government does a decent job. Our armed forces, for instance, shouldn't be privatized. :)

>Moving to repair damage to Muslim sensibilities, the Pentagon changed the code name of its military buildup to ''Operation Enduring Freedom.''

The change was made after the initial name -- ``Operation Infinite Justice'' -- last week ran into objections from some Islamic scholars on grounds that only God, or Allah, could mete out infinite justice in their view.
