And gasoline hasn't dropped to ~$1.40 here now that Labor Day is well past...(from ~$1.68 right before)shuuuuur.... http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20031016/ap_on_go_co/halliburton_iraq_2 "...Reps. Henry Waxman of California and John Dingell of Michigan complained to the Bush administration that Halliburton's KBR subsidiary is billing the Army between $1.62 and $1.70 per gallon, while the average price for Middle East gasoline is 71 cents...
