>OK, thank you, very interesting reading and I stand corrected. But I still don't understand your comparison of the MGIB and Halliburton. What, exactly, is your point, and how does it apply to the discussion regarding the supposed "injustice" that Metin brought up?

Nope, this was on the relativity of the term "cheap" when applied to MGIB money. DoD is cheap on this, while shovelling enormous money into known and unknown bottomless pits. I may not be a citizen here, but I'm paying taxes.
