Interesting to note the following article
ran in today's SJ Mercury News:

Labor group protests offshore tech hiring
IT CLAIMS COST CUTTING HURTS U.S. WORKERS
By Kristi Heim, Mercury News Seattle Bureau

SEATTLE - A Washington labor group started a nationwide Internet campaign
Friday calling for a government investigation into the practice of U.S.
technology companies sending jobs offshore.

SideBar
=======
I was involved in some off-shore contract programming projects
in the 80's and reported on the experience at one of the Interex
Management Conferences (Las Vegas).

While it can save you money on the initial contract there are
hidden costs which don't become evident until you get into the
project. Hindsight being 20-20, I would NOT use off-shore programming
for contract work.
