CHENEY'S OLD HALLIBURTON PALS OVERCHARGE $212 MIL

According to a post at the Committee on Government Reform Minority Office website, the company that has been constantly favored by a government partially run by its former CEO, has overcharged that same government by $212 million. In fact, it's possible that number might be even higher. Here's a clip referring to new reports concerning the overcharging of the USG:
In these new reports, DCAA auditors identify overcharges and question costs of $212.3 million, doubling the total amount of known overcharges under Halliburton's Iraq oil contract. In one case, the overcharges exceeded 47% of the total value of the task order.
Apparently, there was also some hiding of these overcharges going on, too.

So, lies all around. Nothing new, of course. Just more fuel for the fire of public indignation that seems to be burning at an all time low. Man, I hate my country right now.

GET AL QAEDA!!!

Uh-huh... they're a real threat all right... no, it's not corporate greed that steals American tax payer dollars that's bad.

Everybody's got to make a living right?

(Even Al Qaeda? ;) )
