The point I amde early on, Teribus, was that there was NO open bidding for the clean-up contracts. Also, that other countries need to be involved, as well as foreign companies which may have the same capability. I am an oil-field brat and sold mobile telephones, pre-cell phone days, to Halliburton and all of the rest, so I know what they are capable of...I also know, from being in the same state as Cheney most of my adult life, so far, that the good old boy network nearly destroyed anyone who wasn't "with them" in Wyoming and I do not trust the man, nor what he and the company might cook-up to line their pockets further, his government position be damned.
