He's exporting free-market capitalism IMO, he's that's not what he's exporting. His brand of 'business' is pure corruption not capitalism. HAL, Bechtel et al received cost-plus, non-compete contracts which they didn't fulfill properly, provided shoddy service on, billed for work not done, overcharged millions and were then awarded bonuses (at least KBR-HAL were given some $70 million this week). This isn't capitalism, free or otherwise. This is pure corruption. The ReptilianRepublicans don't believe in fair markets or fair competition. They believe in getting everything for themselves and leaving as little as possible for everyone else. They're much closer to the Soviets than they are to Reganites. Reagan IS spinning in his grave.

Hey! UAL dumps pension liabilities onto the US Taxpayer plus slashes the payouts for its employees many of whom have worked for them for decades. In the meantime, the grossly incompetent management put their own pensions into special trusts that remain untouchable and solid. Unbelievable. This isn't capitalism. This is corporate welfare for the incompetent CEO. They are thieves, nothing more.

Those investigations were exhaustive. They had access to highly classified documentation. They had access to hundreds of intelligence officers as well as junior & senior Admin officials. The investigations were bipartisan. They were all thoroughly vetted. They were all scoured by the liberal MSM who could find nothing of note. In fact they discredited numerous bogus allegations against Bush & the Admin. ...."we suspect there is more left unsaid" I doubt anything of any significance will come out that hasn't already. But I guess one can hope.
