this is a good short piece outlining the extent of outsourcing in the military and the central roles played in this by brown and root and halliburton. it has contains information and numbers outlining cheney's continued relation to halliburton at present.

what do you make of this outsourcing trend in the military?

and what of the cozy relationship between the bush administration and some of the contractors who have profitted handsomely from this process?

i find both disturbing but am still thinking about exactly how and why.

disclosure: i had heard fragments on the latter for quite a while, but remained agnostic on the matter because i simply did not have time to research the matter myself. this article is illuminating--i'll probably search out the book it references as well.
