The triumph (or co-opting) of capitalism over terror?

Maybe the Pentagon decided to contract it out to these guys instead.
tradesports.com had P2P futures on events like:

whether Saddam will be "neutralised" by December (currently bidding at .65)
the Democratic nominee (kerry leading with a bid of .32)
GW winning the presidency (currently bidding at .64)
Kobe Bryant found guilty (bidding at 0.1)
the national alert color in december (yellow bidding at .6)
next Supreme Court justice to leave the bench (Stevens leading at 0.33)


Now, where can I exchange my quatloos?

Since they've pulled it purely from public uproar (never stopped 'em before,
except once)
might we conclude that the Republicans no longer believe in efficient
markets?  Gee.
