'huge contract to deliver fuel to the U.S. military'???
This is not an accusation - but it is a question, and some Irish reporter should look into this....
Quote: ''Today's Washington Post has a much-discussed piece about a top McCain fundraiser named Harry Sargeant, who has "bundled" a huge amount of campaign contributions for McCain from a host of unlikely donors.
[....]
What this means for McCain isn't really clear. But the upshot is that one of the more prolific bundlers for McCain appears to have bagged a huge contract to deliver fuel to the U.S. military in Iraq, even though he wasn't the lowest bidder for that contract, allegedly by relying partly on a connection in Jordan to deliver it.....''

My question is:
Since it is clear that the US Military-Industrial Complex is dumping money into the McCain Campaign anyway it can to continue the Iraq War -
Is Irish/Shannon related money also part of this effort and is it legal in the USA or in Ireland to do so?
When I read the phrase:
'huge contract to deliver fuel to the U.S. military'
the first thing that comes to my mind is
TopOil and ther other refuelers at Shannon

but, again, I have no evidence to accuse them with.
But if I was a reporter from some 'Legit' media in Ireland - I'd be looking at this very closely.
