#1 I also think that one major reason for not awarding contracts to people who have built up a successful business under Hussein is simply that it's difficult to trust them. What did they do under Hussein to be successful? What connections do they still have to the Baath Party, and to Hussein? What skeletons are THEY hiding in their closet?

Also, having them work as subcontractors provides a degree of safety for the US coalition government, by not being directly connected to people that somewhere, someone in Iraq probably hates with a passion.

As for the Village Voice, it doesn't even make good toilet paper.
