Haliburton

Great idea!  There are a lot of life-time subscribers to Soldier of Fortune
magazine who would, I am sure, jump at the chance for some real "action"!

have 10,000 to 15,000 armed guards... MERCENARIES? in Iraq. Ok why not turn
the whole thing over to them and pull our troops out. Let Haliburton and the
comapnies that are making the money run the war and get the soldiers home
for summer fest.

> ...Shortly before the 2000 elections, American Dream PAC transferred
$90,000 to the Maine, Delaware, Florida and Arkansas Republican parties. An
additional $10,000 went to Texans Against Gerrymandering, a group set up by
Rep. Joe Barton (R-Tex.) to purchase software and draft maps in connection
with the GOP redistricting effort....

> This is a curious naming, Texans Against Gerrymandering, of a group
devoted to planning the Texas redistricting assualt on Democrats.
> It is so in-your-face that one wonders what it was like in the scene where
that name was chosen. This, and another WP article about procedures for drug
re-testing of federal employees were enough to inspire today's headache.
Government workers, perhaps the employment category most in need of the use
of drugs to endure the regimentation and monotony, is being subjected to a
"gotcha" that makes job security a flimsy illusion. They didn't name it
going postal for nothing.

PAC Not Living Up to Its Goal
> Only 8.9 percent of the money Rep. Henry Bonilla (R-Tex.) has raised for
his American Dream political action committee has gone to the minority
office-seekers it was created to support while more than $100,000 has been
routed to Republican Party organizations or causes...
