  07/11/03 Contracts Go to Allies of Iraq's Chalabi
    Signs of the times
    The many Halilburton scandals. Choose your poison. Cheney cooks books at Halliburton. Shareholders sue Vice President and SEC investigates. No bid contracts awarded to Cheney’s company. Cheney’s company overcharges Pentagon for fuel. Haliburton gets cost plus contracts from Pentagon. Poor old Spiro Agnew. He was forced to resign on the strength of a single scandal dating back to when he was governor of Maryland. For more Cheney/Halliburton scandals, read Pratap Chatterjee’s excellent article “Halliburton Makes a Killing on Iraq War”.
