Apparently it was Brian Williams tonight on MSNBC who FINALLY said on air that no other company BUT Halliburton would be qualified for such a job!!

In a deal cut in June 2000 under President Clinton, the New York Post reports that Halliburton won 11 Navy contracts worth $110 million to build jails at Guantanamo Bay, a base in Kuwait, a ferry terminal on Vieques, an air station in Spain, a breakwater in the Azores and facilities slammed by a typhoon in Guam.

And an independent source verified this about the Halliburton contract. It was VITAL to the troops, and no other company was able to do the job. How like these two opportunists to use the needs of the soldiers and the war effort to smear Cheney, implying he was probably getting some sort of a kickback from Halliburton for these contracts!

Good for him...he will be an improvement when Brokaw retires.

Why is no one at the Bush campaign screaming this at the top of their lungs? You could certainly follow it with the question of whether or not Dems would prefer that the money and jobs go to a lesser qualified foriegn competitor.
