Hey Sand Brain! If you want people to read your ****ing propaganda,
how about posting the article instead of the link to some place
people have to fill out a form.


Sanders is right, here we go again.

" A Pentagon investigation has found evidence of overcharging and other
violations in billions of dollars worth of reconstruction contracts for

Iraq
that were awarded to Vice President Dick Cheney's former company, military
officials said today."

This relates to this item:

http://www.rcfp.org/behindthehomefro...e/2003_11.html

Senator Joseph Lieberman (D-Conn), Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Cal) and Rep. John
Dingell (D-Mich)have requested that the Pentagon inspector general
investigate the alleged over-pricing of gasoline sent to Iraq by
Halliburton, Reuters reports. Haliburton is working under a contract from
the Army Corps of Engineers to supply gas to Iraq until local oil

refineries
are brought back up to speed. The company has been accused of overcharging
the U.S. for the gasoline, but has said that the high price is due to the
cost of providing security. Haliburton, which was formerly run by Vice
President Dick Cheney, received Iraqi reconstruction contracts without

going
through the normal competitive bidding process.
