Speaking of corruption:
Army to End Expansive, Exclusive Halliburton Deal
WASHINGTON -- The Army is discontinuing a controversial multibillion-dollar deal with oil services giant Halliburton Co. to provide logistical support to US troops worldwide, a decision that could cut deeply into the firm's dominance of government contracting in Iraq.Government audits turned up more than $1 billion in questionable costs. Whistle-blowers told how the company charged $45 per case of soda, double-billed on meals, and allowed troops to bathe in contaminated water.
..
No contractor has received more money as a result of the invasion of Iraq than Halliburton, whose former chief executive, Dick Cheney, is now vice president.
Hmmm, easy to read between the lines here, eh?
