Halliburton Contract Deserves Investigation
Saddam Hussein committed a despicable act when he backed up the trucks late one night to a bank and made off with a billion in cash.
In an equally despicable act, the Bush administration and the Army Corps of Engineers have ripped off the American people for $7 billion in a no-bid, hush-hush deal that is no doubt lining a few pockets (“Army Corps Says It Minimized Halliburton’s Role in Contract,” May 8).
We need an investigation to figure out who in the Texas Mafia helped back the trucks up to the U.S. Treasury in the middle of the night.
