1. Is this what is meant by free market? Or maybe the analysis was just outsourced. nt

4. Probably given to a contractor and not handled properly.

5. Standard exercise: Imagine this news under a Democratic administration...
...and just how loud and long the elephant people would scream about it.

7. That is very bad!
I wonder if people from the area steal the stuff off trucks and the bureaucracy covers up the theft. The easy access provided to potential terrorists for U.S. military uniforms could be extremely dangerous for our troops over there. This is what happens when you privatize. You have no control over who is hired. I would bet that the private firms hire local truck drivers who simply drive off with the good. They can probably make more money that way than by delivering their cargo where it is supposed to go.
