There's a great reply at the bottom of that article:

…I don't know exactly what he means by "supposed radicals" (can anyone else see these radicals, Christopher?), but everybody I know who opposes the current system believes in a fourth option: capitalism. A little thing called the free market (sound familiar?), in which whoever submits the best bid, whatever their country of origin, gets the contract. Is this radical? I don't think so. Conservatives would have you believe that it is in fact their bedrock ideal, but the "emergency bidding procedure" that got Halliburton this deal proves once again that they are in fact liars. As Gore Vidal said, "In this country we have socialism for the rich, and laissez-faire capitalism for the poor."

Gore Vidal is only slightly less intellectually dishonest in that statement than he has been in so many of his other [URL=http://www.globalpolicy.org/wtc/analysis/2002/1027vidal.htm]crackpot[/URL] allegations. Please describe to me the details of "emergency bidding" that you find so objectionable, and which firms you think could have offered a better bid and been rejected. I mean, since all of the oil industry is one big conspiracy, why would they shortchange one another? Would any American firm in the field have been acceptable to you?

One wonders if your knee-jerk embrace of this criticism is founded on facts or ideology.
