Oh hell, Bechtel

[ChairmanAgnostic]

Let's see if they go through an Enron-styled meltdown.

Let us count the ways:

Hospital in Iraq.
Billions in overcharges, hidden by swift State Department accounting practices
Billions in no bid contracts for other projects, soon to be scrutinized.
Big Dig warnings that Bechtel approaches would end in failure and collapse.

I suspect that people in power might just throw Bechtel to the dogs. In that way, the even worse frauds and crimes committed by Haliburton would be such a pressing issue. People are getting extremely tired of everything Iraq. So, time to show "progress" of a sorts.
