Halliburton, Cheney, Corruption
Halliburton took $6,300,000 in bribes from a Kuwaiti contractor. They refunded this money to the US Army. Halliburton is under investigation for overcharging the US Army $16,000,000 for food. “The Wall Street Journal reported Monday that KBR may have overcharged by more than $16 million for meals to U.S. troops at Camp Arifjan, a sprawling U.S. military base near Kuwait City, for the first seven months of 2003. The job was subcontracted to a Saudi company.
