Wendy Hall, a Halliburton spokeswoman, said the company is cooperating with various investigations, but she dismissed the latest revelation as election politics. She noted Congress's auditing arm, the Government Accountability Office, found the company's no-bid work in Iraq was legal. "The old allegations have once again been recycled, this time one week before the election," Ms. Hall said. "The GAO said earlier this year that the contract was properly awarded because Halliburton was the only contractor that could do the work. "We look forward to the end of the election, because no matter who is elected president, Halliburton is proud to serve the troops just as we have for the past 60 years for both Democrat and Republican administrations," she said. www.wsj.com
