...that the Bush administration just gave WorldCom a contract to "rebuild Iraq's telecommunications and Internet infrastructure." I didn't hear this report myself, it was related to me by someone else. -Bill

Yeah, upon reading the articles, it looks like the contract is $45M or less for nineteen GSM cells. The controversy surrounding it seems to be twofold: first, that WorldCom has never built a cellular network; second that it's being rewarded ahead of other telcos which haven't (yet) been busted for accounting fraud. -Bill
