KBR to Get No-Bid Army Work as U.S. Alleges Kickbacks

So, does this mean the Obama administration has been turned to the dark side of the force by Bush/Cheney? Unbelievable how much influence the former administration has with the current. Either the former administration was doing things that made sense all along...or the current administration lacks the analytical ability to develop any better COAs.

I am waiting for Gates to say something along the lines that you conduct overseas contingency operations with the force you have; not the force you wish you had.

May 6 (Bloomberg) -- KBR Inc. was selected for a no-bid contract worth as much as $568 million through 2011 for military support services in Iraq, the Army said.

The Army announced its decision yesterday only hours after the Justice Department said it will pursue a lawsuit accusing the Houston-based company of taking kickbacks from two subcontractors on Iraq-related work. The Army also awarded the work to KBR over objections from members of Congress, who have pushed the Pentagon to seek bids for further logistics contracts.
