Just the Facts: "As revealed on the Christian Science Monitor's 'U.S. Trade & Aid Monitor' last week, the U.S. Department of Defense intends to extend a five-year $15 billion global counternarcotics program that is due to expire in 2012. The 'Special Notice' released on August 2nd by the DoD Counter Narco-Terrorism Program Office (CNTPO) advises potential contractors that the U.S. Government is seeking to issue a 'follow-on procurement' to extend the program, and is seeking information regarding the 'capabilities, capacity and qualifications of interested prime contractors.'"

And sometimes I simply muse.
