Halliburton Makes a Killing on Iraq War
http://www.corpwatch.org/issues/PID.jsp?articleid=6008
As the first bombs rain down on Baghdad, CorpWatch has learned that
thousands of employees of Halliburton, Vice President Dick Cheney's
former company, are working alongside United States troops in Kuwait and
Turkey under a package deal worth close to a billion dollars. According
to US Army sources, they are building tent cities and providing
logistical support for the war in Iraq in addition to other hot spots in
the "war on terrorism."
While recent news coverage has speculated on the post-war reconstruction
gravy train that corporations like Halliburton stand to gain from, this
latest information indicates that Halliburton is already profiting from
war time contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
In this special series, investigative reporter Pratap Chatterjee looks
at Halliburton and its subsidiaries' war profiteering. Related articles
