“The U.S. Agency for International Development and Bearing Point [business consulting firm] signed the company’s first Iraq contract on July 24, 2003. …The company specifies changes in every sector of the Iraqi economy–from trade rules to banking and financial services, to public services, agriculture, housing, media, elections, and the structure of the government itself. It even specifies propaganda tools to sell these policies to the Iraqi public. The contract asserts, ‘It should be clearly understood that the efforts undertaken will be designed to establish the basic legal framework for a functioning market economy; taking appropriate advantage of the unique opportunity for rapid progress in this area presented by the current configuration of political circumstances. …Reforms are envisioned in the areas of fiscal reform, financial sector reform, trade, legal and regulatory, and privatization.’ “
