Quietly, the pest hole is being rebuilt into a city again:

FALLUJAH, Iraq -- Navy Civil Engineer Corps officers assigned to the Officer in Charge of Construction detachment of the I Marine Expeditionary Force Engineer Group have administered seven Fallujah reconstruction contracts for rubble removal, dewatering and pipe repair, and potable water tank installation.

According to OICC Officer in Charge Cmdr. Mark Bergin, four Iraqi firms are currently working under a 20-day task order contract for rubble removal. The task order option offers flexibility if additional time or effort is needed to complete the work. U.S. Marines, Navy Seabees and National Guardsmen are also involved in debris removal operations.

Since Halliburton hasn't gotten the contracts, but Iraqis have with some help from U.S. military, there hasn't been an awful lot of press about it.
