IG: Halliburton Subsidiary Abused Rules
By ANNE PLUMMER FLAHERTY, Associated Press Writer


<snip>
The special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction found that Halliburton's Kellogg, Brown & Root Services routinely marked all information it gave to the government as proprietary, whether it actually was or not. The government promises not to disclose proprietary data so a company's most valuable information is not divulged to its competitors.

By marking all information proprietary _ including such normally releasable data as labor rates _ the company abused federal regulations, the report says.

In effect, Kellogg, Brown & Root turned the regulations "into a mechanism to prevent the government from releasing normally transparent information, thus potentially hindering competition and oversight."<snip>

<snip>
"I'm convinced that this is the biggest waste, fraud and abuse in the history of this country," Dorgan said.<snip>

1. And here are (some of) the victims (so far) of their daily frauds:

-> http://icasualties.org/oif
-> thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians
-> millions of American taxpayers, their kids, and grandchildren...
-> billions of human beings for they don't care about planet earth's resources drying-out.
-> same for animal and vegetal species (in short: life on earth).

Still need to get convinced here.... right! :sarcasm:

So what's their sentence? Under BushCo: Promotions... :crazy:

2. Exactly. Under the BFEE...a promotion, but under a DEM Senate,

they WILL PAY! He's held 13 oversight hearings on these thieves.

Sen. Byron Dorgan of North Dakota, chairman of the Democratic Policy Committee, said that in 13 oversight hearings on the war in Iraq the committee found more than $1 billion in waste, fraud, abuse and what it called "shoddy work" by contractors.<snip>
