Reply #55: Or maybe it's nothing at all

Maybe it's another pork-barrel project to give money to Halliburton. This is a "contingency" contract, with no fixed quantity or work, to build stuff in case of a "future" emergency operation. In other words, they just sit & wait for future orders. However, Halliburton gets the money right now. $385 Million dollars up front - w/o having a specific job or needing to do a single thing. For all we know, this money could be going directly to Dick Cheney's account. Maybe it's just a shell game to cover up Halliburton payoffs while giving the illusion they're protecting "national security".
