> Whistleblowers Detail Corruption and Fraud at Halliburton during Senate Hearing
16 February 2005, 20:28
KBR was found guilty of fraud and corruption in 2000 and fined $2 million dollars.
This was not in Iraq, but our own backyard.
They defrauded the federal government out of superfund monies over the "clean up" of Fort Ord, a decomissioned Army base on the Monterey Bay in California.
Looks an awful lot like a pattern to me.
The link from Halliburton to Cheney sends up a brilliant red flag warning of nepotism and abuse. Anyone with an ounce of skepticism cannot deny the abuse of power. But it sure begs the question of how a corporation already convicted of a felony crime of defrauding the government could even be considered, let alone awarded, another contract.
