The Halliburton story in brief: While everyone else lost from the US war on Iraq, there were two winners: One was Halliburton, the company whose former CEO for five years was Dick Cheney until he left (with a $20 million severance package and stock options) to run for VP. Without the bother of competitive bidding, Halliburton was given contracts for more than $6 billion to rebuild Iraq, which we had just demolished. Now government auditors have found that almost half the amount so far billed isnt adequately accounted for, so theyve been trying to get the company to comply. This AP story tells us Halliburtons subsidiary, KBR, is also accused of overpricing and questionable accounting for work it has done as part of a contract with the Pentagon to restore oil fields in Southern Iraq. Other current actions against Halliburton include an investigation into multi- million dollar bribes and kickbacks in Nigeria while Cheney was still with the company and a 4 billion dollar settlement of an asbestos litigation. For some companies, favoritism still isnt enough.
