Effective Civil Aid?

I wonder if Halliburton is still getting the contracts for reconstruction?

This is truly scary, there are no conditions on the ground to enable civil aid projects be truly successful

I have a sneaking suspicion that there isn't a joined up plan for reconstruction, but a lot of good ideas and plenty of money to throw at them, with no real concept of sustainability and protection of these projects. But I don't know enough - more background work required..

Can anyone else enlighten me?
