| 51. Yes, duffel bags of cash are a running theme... |

http://www.chris-floyd.com/index.php?option=content&tas... BushCo's been setting up companies using duffel bags full of cash! Maybe this was a stray one. From an article on how Custer Battles was founded:
Little Big Men: Custer Battles and Bushist Blood Money
Written by Chris Floyd
Sunday, 12 March 2006<snip> ....Plucky little guys with plenty of moxie always win out in the American Dream. But just how little are these pluckers? Their website offers a suitably Lincolnesque tale of humble origins: how they had to scrape and borrow money just to get to Iraq, where their unknown company was magically chosen by an unnamed Bush honcho who gave them the no-bid airport contract – along with a duffel bag stuffed with $2 million in small bills, just to get the ball rolling. Plucky Mike promptly deposited this swag in a Lebanese bank, far from the prying eyes of American regulators. From this potent seed sprang a mercenary/consulting outfit now worth $100 million. <snip>
