NEW YORK (Reuters) - A consulting firm that specializes in advising clients on doing business in Iraq is staffed by some people with close ties to President Bush, his family or his administration, The New York Times reported on Tuesday.
Joe M. Allbaugh heads New Bridge Strategies, the Times said. Allbaugh had been Bush's campaign manager in 2000 and had directed the Federal Emergency Management Agency until March, according to the paper.

The Times mentioned other directors, including Edward M. Rogers Jr. and Lanny Griffith, both of whom had been assistants to the first President George Bush.

The firm's launch comes at a time President Bush has called for $20.3 billion to help rebuild Iraq after the U.S.-led war to depose former leader Saddam Hussein, said the daily.

1. America should be outraged by this

But, like Halliburton, this group will rake in the millions and few people will notice.

Please don't lock this one mods. The other one died because of the headline. This is an important story. Thank you.
