The Halliburton "gravy train" "'We can be as dumb and stupid as we want in the first year of a war, nobody’s going to care,' Halliburton subsidiary KBR responded to a company auditor alerting her superiors to waste and fraud. NBC News ran a story last night on what it said were new allegations of Halliburton's disregard for the taxpayers' money, including $50,000 monthly charges for soda and $1 million a month to clean clothes. "The Pentagon has already awarded Halliburton Co., the controversial military contractor, deals worth up to $18 billion for its work in Iraq. But now former Halliburton insiders have come forward with new allegations of massive waste of taxpayer money." "Marie deYoung, a former Army chaplain who worked for Halliburton, was so upset by attacks on the company she e-mailed the CEO in December with a strategy on how to fight the 'political slurs.' But today, after five months inside Halliburton's operation in Kuwait, deYoung has radically changed her opinion. 'It's just a gravy train,' she said." * Thanks a lot, Dickster.
