The Army Fires Halliburton
Corporate Corruption Quietly Condemned
Army to end its exclusive deal with Halliburton
WASHINGTON - The Army is discontinuing a controversial multibillion-dollar deal with oil services giant Halliburton Co. to provide logistical support to U.S. troops worldwide, a decision that could cut deeply into the firm's dominance of government contracting in Iraq....
Yea!
...Costs were questioned
Government audits turned up more than $1 billion in questionable costs. Whistle-blowers told how the company charged $45 per case of soda, double-billed on meals and allowed troops to bathe in contaminated water.
Halliburton officials have denied the allegations strenuously. Army officials Tuesday defended the company's performance but also acknowledged that reliance on a single contractor left the government vulnerable....
People don't realize how much more money Halliburton got from the government than any other contracting company. Twice as much as any other organization. I am so glad to see the the Pentagon not putting up with cooruption any longer. I wish they would make a stronger stand and make Haliburton and the Vice President an example of what should happen to war profiteers in the United States.
