placid Stuart good question Bowen was on W.J. this a.m.

[donsu]

he's head of the Special Inst. Gen. for Iraq Reconstruction

did anyone believe a word he said?

he said safety in Iraq was ubiquitous.???????

and he was looking for fraud and that he got some lawyers from Justice and naught to worry.

rebuilding going well, he said. and after we rebuild all we are going to, the Iraqis can rebuild the rest.

to most callers he said: "good question" he was very good at slightly twisting the subject of questions to a different line of thought.

he said nobody else on earth could do what Halliburtun and Brown & Root do, so we have to use them. and that they generally do a good job.

and that security around the Green Zone and at it's gates was wonderful, nothing to worry about.

his office is in a palace and he referred to it like that.



he was like a programed robot. (and he had on an ugly pea green tie.)
