The article focuses on the plans for the rapid privatization of the state-run industries in Iraq which were formulated by Martin Hoffman, a key adviser to U.S. Defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and Michael Bleyzer, who runs a private equity firm that invests heavily in Ukraine. Included in the plans of Hoffman and Bleyzer is the granting of permission by the U.S. Administration to the private sector to supplant the U.S. Agency for International Development as the primary force behind the reconstruction of Iraq.
