#3 OK--they are charging a "reasonable" amount--and making a secure profit--anyone want to be another company would have done the same thing?

#4 Sure. I think there are only two companies in the country that have the capabilities. Halliburton's one of them, I forget the name of the other. The other company had the contract after Gulf War I.
