Time for another Truman Committee. Talk about treasonous conduct. "Halliburton accused of 'contract abuse' in Iraq" A top United States Army procurement official says Halliburton's deals in Iraq are the worst example of contract abuse she has seen as Pentagon auditors flagged over $A1.3 billion of potential overcharges by the Texas-based firm. Bunny Greenhouse, the Army Corps of Engineers' top contracting official-turned whistleblower, said in testimony at a hearing by Democrats on Capitol Hill that "every aspect" of Halliburton's oil contract in Iraq had been under the control of the Office of the Secretary of Defence. I can unequivocally state that the abuse related to contracts awarded to KBR (Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg Brown and Root) represents the most blatant and improper contract abuse I have witnessed during the course of my professional career," said Ms Greenhouse, a procurement veteran of more than 20 years." abc.net.au
