Here is how the NYT played this Halliburton info. Neutral opening, slam on Cheney in the second paragraph. Report: Army to Rebid Halliburton Contract By REUTERS Published: September 7, 2004 Filed at 6:45 a.m. ET NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. Army plans within months to break up Halliburton Co.'s contract to provide support services for U.S. troops in Iraq -- valued at up to $13 billion -- and open the work to competitive bids, The Wall Street Journal said on Tuesday, citing an internal Army memorandum. Houston-based Halliburton, whose chief executive from 1995 to 2000 was Vice President Dick Cheney, has been buffeted for months by accusations of overcharging on the contract, under which its Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR) unit provides services such as dining, housing, laundry and transportation. nytimes.com
