Halliburton Iraq oil deal investigated

By LOLITA C. BALDOR
Associated Press
Published on: 10/05/04

WASHINGTON — A House subcommittee investigating Iraq's oil-for-food program expanded its probe to the Bush administration Tuesday, agreeing to subpoena documents on U.S. postwar management of oil revenues and, if necessary, audits on contracts for reconstruction projects, including one given to Halliburton Co.

Democrats on the House Government Reform subcommittee on national security said there should be a full investigation of the Bush administration's refusal to release audits of Halliburton's $1.5 billion noncompetitive contract to repair oil production facilities. The Houston-based oil services company was headed by Dick Cheney before he became vice president.

Failure to release the information, said Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), would appear hypocritical and arrogant and "reinforce the image that our primary goal was to seize control of the oil."

Congress, said Democrats, needs to know what happened to oil revenues when the United States took over their management between May 2003 and June 2004. Since then, management has been turned over to the interim Iraqi government.

Breath taking! What an original idea by the Dems to call for an investigation of Republicans. This is the end, folks. There's no way we can survive such an ingenious attack.

Can you please either use a smaller picture, or just pass on pinging me when you use such a large picture? Although I have a fairly decent size monitor and use a high resolution, large graphics stick a horizontal scroll bar at the botto of my browser and screw it up so that I can't see what is on the right side. Thanks.

So you admit to having several accounts..
And, guess what, cockroaches have legs too, doesn't make them useful, correct, or noteworthy.

Kid, give it up. Nobody here is in the least impressed by this amateur-hour propaganda. You might try Art Bell, if you can find him.
