Looks like Andress left out some important items about his experience and qualifications that are relevant for any work with the taxpayers' money. He writes well and has a great spin but again whose interest is he looking out for? In what context? Examine his past and this maybe a better indicator of what he is up to in Iraq. Regardless of the messenger, we can agree with much of this. Check some other posts: http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2007/12/contractor-combatant-carter-andress.html I agree with Doug.

I won't judge the truth of the article, but I must take into account the possible bias (probable bias?). The article was written by a representative of a company that has undertaken $150m of contracts in Iraq (according to their Web site). I would take from there that they have a fiduciary interest in prolonging the contractor presence. That is not to say that there is anything wrong in what the person wrote, but it is irresponsible to read such articles without the context.
