Halliburton stinks just like Cheney

After overcharging the US army (American taxpayers) by the amount of $61 million for fuel it supplied to the army, it is now becoming clear that it has also possibly overcharged the army (taxpayers) by the amount of $27.4 million in the meal it supplied to feed the American soldiers. They even steal off of the bread that they supply their own soldiers. See, what they would do to Iraq and its oil.

Potential overbilling for food served at bases in Iraq and Kuwait was identified by defence auditors during a routine evaluation of contract costs submitted by Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg Brown and Root. "We are pleased that KBR is willing to step forward to offer reimbursement in advance of any findings," said the official, who asked not to be identified".

They are pleased, they are pleased of what? And why are they so pleased about the fact that there is good possibility that Halliburton has been engaged in fraud, but wants to pay part of what it stole back? Perhaps this would explain: "It seems that no matter what misconduct Halliburton engages in, the Bush Administration continues to turn a blind eye to it and issue more contracts", Frank Lautenberg, Democrat senator

This is perhaps this is because of "Cheney effect" on Halliburton and its corruption. And imagine, this jerk is the second (call it first) powerful man in the United States.
