Old dog, old tricks
This is getting old. Halliburton, Cheney's former company (which he still profits from), is back in the news. No, it's not related to the criminal investigation into alleged fuel price gouging. And it's not the FBI inquiry into possible favoritism from the Bush administration and allegations of improperly awarding contracts to Halliburton without competitive bidding. [By the way, Bush voters, is "war profiteering" considered a moral value?]
No, this time Halliburton's subsidiary, KBR, has simply lost track of U.S. property in Iraq worth millions. Why should they care about lost taxpayer dollars as long as they continue to get their lucrative no-bid contracts?
