"We have an undersecretary of Defense roaming the countryside. We need to locate and secure him."

A senior Defense Department official conducted unauthorized investigations of Iraq reconstruction efforts and used their results to push for lucrative contracts for friends and their business clients, according to current and former Pentagon officials and documents.

John A. "Jack" Shaw, deputy undersecretary for international technology security, represented himself as an agent of the Pentagon's inspector general in conducting the investigations this year, sources said.

In one case, Shaw disguised himself as an employee of Halliburton Co. and gained access to a port in southern Iraq after he was denied entry by the U.S. military, the sources said.


Mr. Shaw gets around!

tod.. I don't think the russians were endorsing Bush for anything before the invasion started...  seems they were trying to get him from invading.... seems they endorsed hoim after nothing was found and now.... who knows?    

wulfie... I do believe that the U.S. and probly the world is a safer place...   I think that getting rid of the sadman was a good thing and that having all the terrorists concentrating on overthrowing the iraq effort is much better for us and the world than them trying to skyjack passenger liner missles or make fertilizer bombs or mail anthrax or any of a number of pesky things...

I think the more countries that either no longer want them around or simply are afraid to have them around the better.

I don't worry about a hundred dirt poor terrorists sitting around a broken down mud huts 1950's dinnette set and watching their AK's rust...  I do worry about them being financed by a country.

moving all of iraqs weapons to syria is better than having em in both countries..

in my opinion.

Lazs, that's just the thing - we haven't seen a mass exodus of terrorists (or maybe they slipped through out through our customs - which would be very scary) from the US. The Al Qaeda hijackers were in the states for several years.

The majority, if not all, of the terrorists over there in Iraq were in the middle east and Iraqies.

The number one terrorist threat to the US is Al Qaeda, and they're probably just sitting around in our own backyards plotting.

The battleground over there that was created for terrorists is just local terrorists that in many cases the war created.

If these weapons went into Syria and/or Iran, the world is not any safer.
