After Iraq, Halliburton gets another chance to cheat US tax payers

Hello, hello: is this cronyism or corruption or both? More than 80% of the $1.5 billion in contracts signed by FEMA for Katrina work were awarded without bidding or with limited competition. And of course, Hailliburton is there. Having fraudulently billed us for $100 a bag of laundry in Iraq, Halliburton is getting another chance to bilk us on the Gulf Coast. Really, Bush & Co is out of control, and more arrogant than ever.
