>> You said the US government is a trustee of public funds of which you are a part. That eliminates any sense of private property, so the government is free to spend "their" money with whomever they want to rebuild the oil fields in Iraq. You have a very unusual (and illogical) understanding of what "trustee" is and does and has. As to Bremer, obviously he understood the law and the US corporations understood how Bremer was overstepping his authority. Which is why they all stepped away and are on the record as saying the time was not right until they could negotiate with an elected government in Iraq.
