bechtel completes 10 of 24 contract projects; parsons, 6 of 141 healthclinics: fecal matter!

"Congress has asked the inspector general’s office to look at all of the major contractors that worked in Iraq and assess their work. A previous assessment found that another major American construction company, Bechtel National, had successfully completed 10 of 24 job orders for rebuilding water, sewage and electricity plants in a huge contract

But earlier, more limited examinations of Parsons’s work in Iraq had already suggested serious shortcomings. Mr. Bowen’s office had previously found, for example, that Parsons had completed just 6 of 141 primary health care clinics called for in one of the contracts and that urine and fecal matter leaking from poor plumbing had made major portions of the Baghdad police academy unusable"

tell them anything and everything before they even sniff at you.

our buddy musharraf:“This is an intrusion into our privacy, into our sensitivity,” Mr. Musharraf said. “The whole nation sees the nuclear weapon as the guarantee of our security against all regional threats.”

“They have a very strong, multilayered security for their nuclear weapons,” Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, independent of Connecticut, said in a telephone interview on Friday from Madrid after spending two days in Pakistan this week. “They’ve gone out of their way to imagine every conceivable way how someone would strike at their nuclear weapons.”

wow, they've GONE OUT OF THEIR WAY!!!

isn't that kind, with their non-kosher nukes and all to think outside the box.

WASHINGTON — President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan warned in an interview published Friday that any unilateral attacks by the United States against Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters in his country’s tribal areas would be treated as an invasion.
