actually. josh gave me a greater attribution than 'a reader':

"But while the DOD is hiring the Lincoln Group, the Lincoln is subcontracting the work to BKSH, the PR firm run by Republican uber-operative and spinmeister Charlie Black.

Actually, if you're looking for phony stories about how well things are going in Iraq, I guess a Republican talking head like Charlie Black might be a pretty good better. So this might be an example of shrewd governmnet contracting.

And if you wonder what Charlie Black knows about bamboozling Iraqis, don't worry because he must have picked something up when he was working for Ahmed Chalabi before the war.

that's me. and my talking points!

josh described it in his title as "Ahhh, the seamless global web of mumbojumbo."
