Halliburton's Deals Greater Than Thought
By Michael Dobbs
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, August 28, 2003; Page A01
Halliburton, the company formerly headed by Vice President Cheney, has won
contracts worth more than $1.7 billion under Operation Iraqi Freedom and
stands to make hundreds of millions more dollars under a no-bid contract
awarded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, according to newly available
documents.
The size and scope of the government contracts awarded to Halliburton in
connection with the war in Iraq are significantly greater than was
previously disclosed and demonstrate the U.S. military's increasing
reliance on for-profit corporations to run its logistical operations.
Independent experts estimate that as much as one-third of the monthly $3.9
billion cost of keeping U.S. troops in Iraq is going to independent
contractors.

So what the value of VP Richard "Government for Sale" Cheyney's Halliburton
stock right now? Must have grown into a nice little nest egg by now.
