Cosmic Iguana - Voice of the Evil Doers

CORPWATCH:

...Henry Waxman, a California member of the House of Representatives, kicked off the proceedings by presenting a new study gleaned mostly from confidential reports done by the Defence Contract Audit Agency (DCAA).

The study estimates that Halliburton has received roughly 52 percent of the $25.4 billion that the Pentagon has paid out to so far to 77 private contractors in Iraq...

That's alot of change. But it still didn't put them in a good mood. Here's something from earlier in the article, about a competitors convoy which was ambushed bringing materials for a Halliburton dining facility, in which 3 were killed and several wounded:

When the survivors limped into the Al Taqaddum military base, they were expected to receive support from the Halliburton staff. Instead they got the cold shoulder. When the drivers tried to leave the country, they hit a roadside bomb and another Bosnian staff member was killed.

Reading from an email apparently sent by a Halliburton manager, Waller, said that the company staff were ordered not to help them... [*]

Halliburton is an amazing company, no matter how low you think they've gone, they always find a way to go lower.
