I wouldn't compare them to the rogue's gallery of accounting and tax fraud perps. Halliburton was charged specifically with setting up paper foreign subsidiaries so they could get around the US prohibitions on trading with terrorist nations (specifically: Libya and Iran and Syria). Depending on one's political views - I guess - on whether the government should even have the power to ban private companies from trading with nations it doesn't like (like Cuba....), this could be seen as a traitorous act: trading with the enemy... or as a defense of free trade in the face of an over-weaning government assault. You pick. On-the-other-hand, padding the bills submitted to the federal government (let's call it what it is: Fraud) is a much more cut 'n dried type of offense.
