Straw purchase is more than likely a contraction of "Straw Man" purchase. I guess I'd need some cites before fixing it.
- The reason I named the article "straw purchase" is because that is the standard term used by the BAFTE. --"DICK" CHENEY 00:59, 18 May 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Etymology
Can anyone clarify etymology of the term? I tried to dig the Internet, googled here and there, but all the same -- to no avail. --195.225.129.10 07:13, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
