Halliburton needlessly slaughtered cats in Green Zone.
It's in Rajiv Chandrasekaran's book:

Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq's Green Zone

They even went into people's tents after the cats and left notes about what they'd done.

2. How very "medieval" of them.
What was their justification?

3. That is incredibly evil.
x(

I'm sure they overcharged us a fortune to needlessly kill those cats.

And then when the rat population explodes because the cats are gone they will overcharge us again to put poison everywhere. And of course they won't be resonsible for negligently poisoning anyone and anything else that happens to be in the area.

5. Is Doktor Frist consulting for Halliburton on the side?
Or maybe CheneyCorp and the Kitty Mengele are concidentally on the same page.

6. As someone who has been a hunter since age 10
is it hypocritical for me to be enraged when I read stories like this? As someone who is fast becoming an opponent of the death penalty, is it hypocritical to want to see these motherfuckers fried? If so, sorry but nothing pisses me off more than reading stories about casual animal cruelty. The assholes who did this are as low as somebody who would stick a firecracker up a frog's ass and blow him up, not that I'm aware of anybody that low.

17. And you don't consider hunting animal cruelty?
That's quite hypocritical.

8. These people are freaks. They need to be imprisoned.
I mean it, this behavior is a serious indicator of a much larger problem.
I bet Halliburton does a personality profile at hiring and they hire only the people who test as sociopaths.

10. Yes, in individuals, cruelty to animals is a big DANGER sign. For corps..
like Halliburton, I think it means nothing less than the same.

Who's the Halliburton guy who made this decision?

16. Jeffrey Dahmer
began his career by dismembering stray kittens.

This is where I disagree with Hugo Chavez. Bush is only a low level Demon -- Cheney is The Devil -- he probably starts out the day with Deviled Eggs, Devils' Food Cake, and Cafe Diablo.

13. people like this do not return
They are not granted "everlasting life". They rot in hell. I hope that makes you feel a bit better. I firmly believe this.

12. What the H*ll is it with repukes and cats?
I remember the repukes making fun of Socks. Then it was Cat Killer Frist. Now this. Do cats somehow represent democrats?

18. Well, Mr. Peabody came home when he was called, but, yes...
his record was pretty lousy when it came to staying in his own yard and fetching the paper.
