Will Ken Lay run this:The push to privatize war got its start during the administration of the elder President Bush. After the Gulf War ended, the Pentagon, then headed by Defense Secretary Dick Cheney, paid a Halliburton subsidiary called Brown & Root Services nearly $9 million to study how private military companies could provide support for American soldiers in combat zones. Cheney went on to serve as CEO of Halliburton--and Brown & Root, now known as Halliburton KBR, has since been awarded at least $2.5 billion to construct and run military bases, some in secret locations, as part of the Army's Logistics Civil Augmentation Program. In March, the Pentagon hired Cheney's former firm to fight fires in Iraq had Saddam Hussein sabotaged oil wells during the U.S. attack. The news before the war started was that Halliburton would NOT, repeat NOT have any part in rebuilding Iraq...another lie from the Bush camp

The usual question with this type of creation of killers and mercenaries.....HOW DO YOU TURN THEM OFF??? They just become the next generation of terrorists or people that sell their services to whoever comes around later. Seems like Osama is one of those..... And many of the fighters in Afghanistan and Pakistan..... And don't forget the murderous cadre of military people in Central America that the US is ONCE AGAIN SUPPORTING..... See CESPES.org CC
