Has anyone said who the contract company is?
It would be interesting to see if this contract company has made any political contributions...yet I haven't heard anyone mention the name of this company.

4. Best educated guess: Computer Sciences Corp, which owns Dyncorp

7. Also interesting to see where the contract employees work next
and see if they end up making a substantially increased salary ;)

An investigation complete with bank audits would be fascinating too.

16. I question the use of contract people in this job, but you know Cheney he loves contract people
Bush and Cheney should have been impeached long ago.

18. The government can't afford to hire programmers
They have to contract out, I shit you not. There once was a core of IT guys who were Civil Service, they were pretty much phased out and replaced with contractors in the RayGun years.
