I can't say how Bechtel is in league with anyone in particular, but my
father, ardent Republican and worker on WoMD (Titan II Underground Missle
launch complex - I believe that door that slides open in nothing flat as the
missle is actually launching is his design. I finally saw it in action the
other day on the History Channel) didn't want to work for those guys because
they were so right wing and were prigs with a stick up their collective
posteriors. Let's just say I wouldn't be surprised at the claims.
