The corruption in Louisiana continues, but now they're doing it with FEMA dollars. Still it is impressive to see that the Shaw Group is the "Jack of all Trades" for building, repairing, pumping and protecting life.
Shaw's stock had dropped by 70% in March 2004, but thanks to their friends in high places, the company will continue to "thrive".
On another note, considering the number of rides Governor Blanco's husband 'Coach' takes in Shaw Group's airplanes, it is safe to say he is the most powerful man in Louisiana. (Bob Odom would not agree.)

Anyone have any idea as to whether this Shaw Group is somehow connected/related to Clay Shaw, the man put on trial for conspiracy to murder President Kennedy?
Just thought it was too convenient --- What with "Shaw" and "New Orleans" and "Louisiana" and such. Just something to think about.

Plus....a contract was awarded to
Kellogg Brown and Root.(a subsidiary of Halliburton)
Also an Allbaugh client.
Also...
Bechtel National Inc., a unit of San Francisco-based Bechtel Corp., has also been selected by FEMA to provide short-term housing for people displaced by the hurricane. Bush named Bechtel's CEO to his Export Council and put the former CEO of Bechtel Energy in charge of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation.
Quit pointing those fingers....3 are pointing back at ya.

How can this be? The msm has already assured us that only GWB's cronies will be awarded rebuilding contracts. There must be some mistake.

I surely do hope they realize they are going to be audited like crazy over this job. I expect they are going to be monitored much more closely then they expect.
