[graller]

The New York Times has another interesting article up today on Haliburton....how long before someone launches an investigation into this crap?

How long? I'd say until Bush and Cheney are out of office.

Oh come now. I'm sure Bush and Cheney are merely misunderstood businessmen. Next you'll be claiming that Bush lied about the war.

Just amazes me that this information is out there, people know about it and there is no hue and cry. I can understand so much of the motives behind what we are trying to do in Iraq and then you turn around and it looks like a frigging meal ticket for their cronies in Texas. On top of that the money is coming from the Iraqi Oil funds....so we are stealing from the people we wenr in to save. On top of that we just announced today that no non-Coalition members will be allowed to bid on the next series of contracts to be awarded for "security reasons". I could almost buy that if the whole process wasn't already so tarnished.
