it seems odd to invite the thief back for another turn.
isn`t Cheney a big wheel at KBR ? seems a bit of a conflict of interest over the Bush period.

While KBR won the 2001 logistics contract in a competitive process, all task orders for that work, some worth billions of dollars apiece, were not competitively bid. Some commission members yesterday said they believed that contributed to overbilling and waste. They wanted to know why the Army had not moved faster to award logistics orders competitively two years after creating a program to do so.
