Halliburton at it again still Redux

Extending Walldon’s recent piece, in a recent documentary that Rethuglican’s would term “propaganda”, but which in fact is being 99% corroborated by an ongoing investigation in the Washington Post called IRAQ FOR SALE, the following facts were discovered:

Close to half of US government expenditures in Iraq are on private contractors who are gouging the tax paper with little to no oversight. Attempts by Democrats in Congress (Dodd, Waxman, Levin) to attach oversight systems defeated by GOP House majority. The Boards of the companies involved are populated with the usual suspects from the Pentagon and Congress, i.e. ex-military officers, senators, congressmen, and congressional staffers with access to decision makers.

Halliburton/KBR
-Managers lived at luxury hotels
-drove $40k autos
-billed trucks for $250k
-sent supply convoys into the line of fire killing drivers to save on cost of shipment
-refused to stagger military mess hall service to minimize sniper detection to save money
-failed to provide clean water (infested with bacteria) causing disease in military barracks.
-charged $99 per load to do soldier’s laundry
-charged $45 for a six-pack of Coca Cola, reminiscent of the $600 toilet seats and the $100 hammers

CACI
-supplied half of AbuGraib interrogators who ran roughshod over rules due to
1) no accountability to the military
2) no supervision by CACI

Blackwater
-supplied private armies that could not fight

To corroborate all of this consider the program AIR on PBS, 10/27 covering the Homeland Security rip off by Accenture

-awarded $70 mil for an airport security screening system that did not work and was not compatible with FBI systems.

-set up junkets based in luxury hotels to recruit TSA workers even at the lowest level.

Makes viable content for a textbook entitled: "How to Steal Taxpayer's money from the government legally," and another new low in the conduct of government by the current Administration.
