IS THERE A CONNECTION BETWEEN CONTRIBUTIONS AND IRAQ CONTRACTS?

The Center for Public Integrity says "yes". Slate says their study is full of it.

The conclusion of the report, "Windfalls of War," is that a clear quid pro quo exists between government procurement and campaign contributions to George W. Bush. Charles Lewis, the group's executive director, released a statement arguing that the report reveals "a stench of political favoritism and cronyism surrounding the contracting process in both Iraq and Afghanistan."

There's just one problem: The CPI has no evidence to support its allegations.
