Nearly 40 years ago, Halliburton faced almost identical charges over its work for the U.S. government in Vietnam -- allegations of overcharging, sweetheart contracts from the White House and war profiteering. Back then, the company's close ties to President Johnson became a liability. Today -- as NPR's John Burnett reports in the last of a three-part series -- Halliburton seems to be distancing itself from its former chief executive officer, Vice President Dick Cheney.

By 1967, the General Accounting Office had faulted the "Vietnam builders" -- as they were known -- for massive accounting lapses and allowing thefts of materials.

Brown & Root also became a target for anti-war protesters: they called the firm the embodiment of the "military-industrial complex" and denounced it for building detention cells to hold Viet Cong prisoners in South Vietnam.

Today, Brown & Root is called Kellogg, Brown & Root -- a Halliburton subsidiary better known as KBR.

2. Well, my Dad knows who they are

and despises them. He reads the newspapers--he's not on the net. So some of the info is trickling down to the average American.

That's a good thing.

3. A very good thing.

The more people hear about these criminals who masquarade as 'respectable' businessmen the sooner they can demand justice.

4. kick

5. Yep. The very same people who wanted nuclear war in the 40's.

The same people who have been running things from the beginning. They always get so far before the people catch them and put them out of power but they always come back. These fascists were really close to achieving their goals this time around and if we're not careful they can sneak back in two years. We must be very hard on these treasonous bastards this time or it will just be more of the same. I'm betting on more of the same.

6. these treasonous bastards

Treason is right.If kbr is not doing their job and it makes it easier for our enemies to cause the US harm then that is called givig aid and comfort to the enemy.
In other words Treason!
