8. I think they had little to no choice.

I watched an hour of the MHP show last Saturday where she ferreted out what happened there. One of her guests described how the Bu$h cabal (and this is yet another example of how we are still paying through the nose for all the BS they pulled and set us up for major fails of this type) placed into law a policy whereby no small contractors are eligible to bid for these contracted (no bid usually) jobs and the large contractors can sue for the contracts so it comes down to "...who has the best lawyers..." as to who gets the contract.

Soooo, I;m sure the OP is spot on and with this caveat of how/why these moles end up being able to sabotage the whole web site initiative and not much can be done about it until after the fact... which is what has been the pattern since Obama took office. Many Bushies are still in place where they were imbedded before he left office... they cannot be removed or replaced by political influence and many are life-time appointments. Yet another thing that needs to be changed like a soiled diaper.
