"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."
Could be wrong, but I seem to recall that they were also awarded at least one contract in Iraq early on. Of course, not word one about that and there will probably not be anything out there about this as the company is owned by Sen. Feinstein's (D-CA)VERY wealthy husband. Every time the D's bring up Halliburton, the Pubbies should mention this and perhaps Clay Shaw's contract as well. They may be the best company for the work, but, as I understand it, so is Halliburton (think they are in a bit of a 'niche' field).
I think Bechtel is a privately held company owned by the Bechtel Family. They got the Iraq contract because they are the largest an most experienced contractor extant.
