Clearly you follow the news which feeds your bias. Government = Cost Overruns.

Is it the fact that they were no bid contracts or was it something called reality? Two important factors: Urgency and Capacity. The no-bid, neocon, war for oil, Chaney's buddies thing ignores the fact that the work was needed immediately and on a large scale in a combat zone.No-bid contracts are a matter of record.

How did they become part of the record? Perhaps because an oversight process is in place, hmmn? (In addition) Do you think that the reason for so much media is in Iraq is for pro-US propaganda purposes? (Contract bilking and falsified billing are a matter of record.

My secret sources are...wait for it...teh internet...television...and radio (to hell with traditional news papers). Yea, that's about it. These things are important to me so I keep track of them. This "we've been aware of" garbage is like "we should get out of Iraq." You're setting yourself up as an authority on contracting issues and I would like to know of a regulation you've read concerning the process. Perhaps you're a contracting officer for the Corps of Engineers? How do "we" know of this (yes precious, we knows it)?if you're setting yourself up as having some sort of privileged or special information, please share.

Rape case ruling shocks Australia
A judge's decision not to jail nine men guilty of raping a 10-year-old girl in an Aboriginal community has triggered outrage in Australia.
The offenders were either placed on probation or given suspended sentences for the 2005 rape in the Aurukun settlement, in northern Queensland.
In her ruling, Judge Sarah Bradley told them that the victim "probably agreed to have sex with all of you".
A review of sexual abuse sentences in Aboriginal Queensland has been ordered.
