[Organize] FW: Bechtel Fact Sheet

[David Meieran]

yeah, i've been planning on converting a little bit more of it a two  
pager. note that there were a few errors in that draft, however,  
which is why i didn't publish it to the website.

if you haven't already seen it, please note that there's a  
comprehensive list of articles and reports on bechtel, including  
frida's article "privatizing the apocalypse", that's collected on the  
website. it was put up two weeks ago.

http://august6.org/why_bechtel

it is prefaced with text from the one page fact sheet.

adding the citations is another to-do item - if anyone could help  
with that and other editing/fact sheet making i'd be grateful.

also: "Bechtel: Profiting from Destruction" is a 39 page report by  
Public Citizen,  Global Exchange and CorpWatch about Bechtel. that's  
also a great and comprehensive resource.
