more Halliburton corruption

UN report: Halliburton rips off Iraq for $208M

Classy move, ripping off a country struggling to recover from the US invasion. The greed factor with Cheney-Halliburton is revolting not to mention absolutely stupid considering the administration is supposed to be building a long term friend in the region. The UN report blasts KBR (Halliburton) and is asking them to repay up to $208M to the Iraqi government. This is what happens when government allows private enterprise to mix with political policy. Surely this causes ill will, not to mention fueling anti-Americanism by the Iraqi people. As if the US does not have enough problems in Iraq without this new mess.
