Canadian pension funds and the like may well fancy their chances but like most of the previous sell offs, I suspect it'll be one of these clandestine outsourcing giants who find their way to the contract. Jobs for the boys and what not...

David, re the Middle-East - it's a region of the world which Britain and the rest of the West will simply never, ever understand. Heck, in this country children aren't even taught about the British Mandate for Palestine and our key role in forming Israel. I suspect a damn sight more of us would find the thought of sending troops into that region nauseating if they knew their history!
