My question would be, What was the bid process? I have been personally involved [testified] where a Govt bid request was written so that only one company could meet the specs. That company bid at retail and got the contract.

Could be the obummer gang wants contractors so they can claim "jobs created or saved" that were not Govt jobs.

Obama does NOT want contractors. He is increasing the number of government employees. To be fair, Bush was doing this too. But Obama is pushing it harder. .

If you`re talking about contract workers that come from an agency or are independent , it`s pretty obvious to me why . With all costs for employees either rising rapidly or going to shortly ( fringes , medical etc ) , serious issues with being able to terminate an employee because of unions , govt. rules or whatever ... it only makes sense to not have your own employees .... just use contract workers that don`t have those issues .
Hope you can follow this as the pain meds are finally starting to kick in .

To quote John Travolta's character in the movie Broken Arrow, "I don't see what the big deal is. I really don't."

That way the Blackwater guys have 'plausible denial'
