Katrina Clean-Up: And the Winner Is . . . Halliburton Posted by Suzanne Nossel

Last week, I warned that while we were all fretting over the fate of hurricane victims, firms with close ties to the Administration would be lining up for the reconstruction gravy train.  I pointed out that such firms, including principally Halliburton and its subsidiaries, had been accused of massive fraud, mismanagement and waste in relation to their roles roles in post-war Iraq.

Sure enough, its happening.  This story reports that Halliburton and Bechtel have already scored rich contracts for clean-up work on the Gulf Coast.   Members of Congress, the media and the public should demand accountability and insist that the people of New Orleans partake of the economic opportunities that will be created through the rebuilding effort.  The clean-up and reconstruction processes should be used as ways to lure people back to New Orleans to revive and reshape their city, not to line the pockets of the Administration's favorite large corporations.

Where can a sub-contractor learn about available contracts ?

Um. Yhe people of New Orleans. NO is empty (mostly) and has, thus, (mostly) no people.

So how is there anyone to employ, and why not just hire people to move into the area to do the work, with the idea being that they might just stay?

[J Thomas]

Good thought. Hire the right people and encourage them to stay, and you can design in the redistricting from the start.

[rosignol]

bah.

Everything you could ever want to know about how Cheney used to run Halliburton.

Nothing about how the Shaw Group is run by the current chairman of the Louisiana Democratic party.

A few of these conditions respond to specific treatment. For example, if a blood pressure drug is causing impotence, the best approach is to change drugs. If a pituitary tumor is secreting the hormone prolactin, treating that tumor may result in immediate improvement. male impotence cure [url=http://impotence.hjjyt.org/anti-cialis-impotence.html] anti cialis impotence [/url] http://chinese-medicine-and-impotence.hjjyt.org/index.html
However, in most cases, conventional treatment of impotence is nonspecific.

Viagra is now being used to treat not only erectile dysfunction (ED) but also pulmonary hypertension. And the drug may have potential for treating several other conditions, according to a recent report. cheap generic substituties viagra http://viagra.dfgtr.info/viagra-alternative-and-woman.html [url=http://cialis.dfgtr.info/amsterdam-buy-cialis.html] amsterdam buy cialis [/url]
The three ED medications currently on the market--Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis--all work by the same means, and they have similar side effects.

That is why he emphasized again. However, I would like to highlight here is that he as a minister and being paid as high as a CEO package, should he questions his own capabilities and his ministry of what has done to address all the housing problem highlighted by the people. Can Mr Mah in future, increase the price of HDB Generic Soma (which is good for the current home owner) and still make the new HDB affordable to the next generation? What this imply is that as the value of your (current home owner) flat increases, DON’T FORGET THE AMOUNT OF MONEY YOUR KIDS (NEXT GENERATION) HAS TO FORK OUT FOR THE NEW FLATS. Don’t think either PAP or WP would be able to come out with a good solution. BUT if we keep supporting the current HDB policy, we will only has to bear the consequences we are facing now. Have anyone noticed, when the property market is HOT, HDB always launched BTO flats/ Executive condominium. It is more expensive and I would say more profitable for HDB.
