Haliburton in the Balkans

[Ivo Skoric]

I hope Bunnatine brings Rummy, Cheney and their criminal conspirators 
down. Bunnatine H. Greenhouse, chief contracting officer for the Army 
Corps of Engineers, has called for an investigation of procurement 
practices. Mainly in awarding billions of dollars to Haliburton in no-
bid contract.

It is also important to note that Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg 
Brown & Root got an extra 11 monthswithout bidding to provide 
logistical services in the Balkans (mainly supplying the largest US 
military base in Europe: Camp Bondsteel in Kosovo). In this case, Ms. 
Greenhouse asserted, where operations have continued for four years, 
claims of an emergency or that Kellogg Brown & Root was the only 
feasible provider were not tenable. The company is expected to draw 
$165 million from the extension.

Essentially, the wars are waged so that rich people can profit from 
them. People like Cheney.
