A top Army contracting official who criticized a large, noncompetitive contract with the Halliburton Company for work in Iraq was demoted Saturday for what the Army called poor job performance.

The official, Bunnatine H. Greenhouse, has worked in military procurement for 20 years and for the past several years had been the chief overseer of contracts at the Army Corps of Engineers, the agency that has managed much of the reconstruction work in Iraq.

Bunnatine H. Greenhouse, a contracting official, spoke in June before a Congressional panel studying reports of overcharges by Halliburton.

The demotion removes her from the elite Senior Executive Service and reassigns her to a lesser job in the corps' civil works division.

2. What can we do to support her besides vote the bastards out or

better still impeach them? This has the hand of Cheney written all over it. He might be the meanest-spirited man alive (he is still, isn't he?). Of course Georgie Porgie is the dumbest.
