educate me on Halliburton...
and their war profiteering.

Is it true they have no competition, and thus get the contracts or is this BS?

How much are the profiting on this lie of a war?

Need to lay the smackdown on some bushbots that are defending them.

Thanks in advance.

2. They were awarded many sole source contracts with no
competition despite the way the government usually works on huge contracts.

Here's the story of a gov't whistleblower, RE: contracts

Oh, and they're profiteering like crazy. Keep your eyes on Henry Waxman come January; you will be appalled and amazed. Also, there's a documentary out called "Iraq For Sale" that explains what's been going on.

4. Pay particular attention to...
the graphs on the right side of the front page. Note the increasing profits, the increasing deaths... it's explicit there.
