#1 Shoulda let Halliburton do it. That would have raised a different stink than an electrical fire, though...

#2 Indeed. The primary reason for Kellog Brown Root getting the original no-compete task order in Iraq in the first place (2003) was that they had the world wide contract for embassy security construction and Halliburton the parent co had the current 5 year world wide logistical support contract to which task orders could be added. As a side effect, they also had a lot of personnel w/ security clearances.
