WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Companies with ties to the Bush White House and the former head of FEMA are clinching some of the administration's first disaster relief and reconstruction contracts in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

RE: Firms with Bush ties

It's so expected that it doesn't even qualify as breaking news...more like fodder for an in-depth documentary. Any film makers here?

the exploitation for PERSONAL /POLITICAL gain continues. Every tragedy is benefiting these arrogant, self centred S.O.B. ....and they make sure of that . they are not in for governing a nation........they are in for some big bucks......notoriety, and the trappings that "power" brings .....particularly in the US.....as the US population has not grown out of the "hero/idol worship" of materialism and not only honors wealth and fame, but worships it.

Halliburton was in this mess faster than D.Cheney could make his own phoney personal appearance and stupid rhetoric.

business as usual for THIS regime. When this gov't term is done....... there will be a few obscenely wealthy men who "retire "from politics to write their memoirs and pretent they actually contributed something positive in the 8 (LONG ) yrs in office. and their supporters will continue to idolize them.

I'm sure Michael Moore has already seen it.

I'm guessing he'll have a movie about the whole disaster though. I'd like to see a full five or ten hour series detailing the corporate corruption and Bush ties to it.

gosh, so would I. :!: And MM is the type to do just that....

actually the movie medium is probably the best way to "inform" the US public.......given their addiction to hollywood and movies... Would work better than any of the "news" channels.


Maybe?? :wink:
