I'm not up in arms over Halliburton. There's only 2 or 3 contractors that can handle that size of services contract. They'll all get a roughly equal share of the pie over time. The sole source aspect was not great PR, particularly in light of campaign contributions but I doubt if the awarding officials were even aware of what they were. The food story...small potatoes [pun intended], overall, they're doing pretty well performance wise. Finally, Halliburton's larger growth in DoD contracts came during the Clinton Administration, so I'm sure that you'll agree that Halliburton is just fine. <s> jttmab
