Because each contract is precious, I guess...

WASHINGTON - The Iraqi attorney who helped lead American soldiers to Pfc. Jessica Lynch is working as a consultant for a former congressman's lobbying company, evaluating Iraqi companies applying for rebuilding work.

<snip>

Al-Rehaief was granted asylum last spring after his role in Lynch's rescue was publicized. Former Rep. Bob Livingston, R-La., hired him at the Livingston Group, which promotes business interests worldwide. Its clients include the Republic of Turkey and defense contractor Northrop-Grumman.

Al-Rehaief, 33, declined to talk specifics about his life in America because of concerns about his family's security. He spent much of his hourlong discussion recounting his role in Lynch's rescue.

Though Lynch has said she did not recall being beaten by her captors, al-Rehaief reiterated that he saw an Iraqi officer strike her in Baghdad's Saddam Hospital.

"I know more than anybody how much she suffered in Iraq (news - web sites). It was a difficult time she cannot remember," he said.

You mean like Ahmed Chalabi's ethics. The U.S. loves Chalabi and Jordan wants to arrest him for fraud and being like junior.

2. Sorry......this smells really bad. An Iraqi attorney who led soldiers to

Lynch gets a cushy job for "The Livingston Group" of former Rep. Bob Livingston of Louisiana. His group sounds like it could be an affiliate of the Carlyle Group. (Promoting business interests worldwide.....yeah right!) How did Al-Rehaief get a security clearance so fast? How do we know he "a'int one of them insurgents or a spy."

Geeze the cronyism never ends.

3. And, Drudge says she's got nudie pictures that Hustler is going to publish

(The Jessica Story just doesn't quit devulging new information every day. I'm surprised this didn't all come out before the moview showed, because it's beginning to sound like a huge PR Campaign either Pro or Against her. I can't figure out which yet. I think some of us are going to end up disappointed in Jessica when this all gets hashed out. We should have waited before we juded her one way or the other until the facts were known.

SOURCES: NY DAILY NEWS PAGE ONE TUESDAY: 'HUSTLER' TOPLESS SNAPS OF JESSICA LYNCH; PAPER SET TO
EXPLORE PENDING PUBLICATION OF YOUNG LYNCH PHOTOS...

AMBUSHED AGAIN!

--Skin mag says it has topless photos of Jessica before she went to Iraq

--War hero's spokesman rips plan to publish pix as 'unspeakable.'

From the story:

Lynch's new torment erupted the day before Veterans Day -- and on the same night she made a
dramatic appearance at an awards event here in New York with fellow rescued POW Shoshana
Johnson. (and Britney Spears, by the way)

from the Drudge Report.

4. and Livingston has his own connection to Larry Flynt

Flynt printed the story that cost Livingston the Speaker position.

So Jessica and Mohammed are connected by war and by pornography.
