Retired General Backs Halliburton Whistleblower
http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/11/01/halliburton.ap/index.html

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A senior Army contracting officer who had criticized a contract given to Halliburton had been subjected to a racist and sexist work environment, her former supervisor, a retired general, said in an affidavit.

The affidavit by retired Lt. Gen. Joe N. Ballard demonstrated the integrity of Bunnatine Greenhouse, said her attorney, Michael Kohn.

Greenhouse, chief contracting officer for the Army Corps of Engineers , has charged that the Army showed favoritism to Halliburton, Vice President Dick Cheney's former company, and that she was frozen out of decisions affecting it.

Racism and Sexism amongst Republicans? Cronyism? Who would have ever thunk it?

1. The truth comes out slowly
while the outlandish lies and accusations of the Rovians hit the front pages thanks to the RW slant of our ever-consolidating media.

This should be bigger news than it is and should have come out long ago.

Is it too late to have any effect?

GOTV!

Kerry-on!
