#1 Can they name any companies with NO ties to the administration that could have done this work?
A nice, fat, amorphous phrase, "ties to the administration." It could mean almost anything and is flexible enough to be applied to anyone who happened to get the contracts.

The media are the enemy.

#4 Why couldn't these asswipes have provided some perspective, and listed what other companies could have done the job and their qualifications, and what the costs were between all the companies capable of performing the work?

Would've been a lot better than these thinly veiled accusations of favoritism.
