It's worse than BS! One of my brothers is over there right now with CA. You really don't want to hear what he has to say about throwing money especially "no strings attached" cash at the problem. Of course he's something of a moralist - thinks we should be getting long term tangible value for the taxpayer's dollar. We're trying to buy people who have no concept of why we get upset when they won't stay bought. Just ask anybody in 5th Gp. who observed the massive quantities of OGA monies exchanging hands in SWA what they think of the tactic. Makes me really glad I've got a LATAM orientation. At least they'll (sometimes) buy you a beer with the money you give them. FWIW - Peregrino
