Uh-oh.

Not an uh-oh in this case.

If anything, it's going to be in the lines of honest misunderstanding, and it will blow over for the most part. The key is to nail Rubin's butt to the wall.

I think Howlin means "uh-oh" for the DNC and their "issue".

It sounds to me like Halliburton has been very forthright and open with their investors re the questions raised.

Hardly a Worldcom type mess.

Uh-oh.

Oh no .. what will the Dems do now that there is no story ....

Oh yea .. I forgot, they don't care about the truth

[deport]

Does the national press corps really want to learn the story of Halliburton's accounting practices during the time Vice President Dick Cheney was the company's CEO?

Ah, but not to worry. The truth will come out later when we get to the jury trial with the two disgruntled stockholders and 'eww'. Never fear for the truth will set you free (hint IRS audit).

Maybe they should have been more aggressive and issued a press release about the change, who knows. But the dollars involved are a small percentage of the total revenue/cash flow that it wouldn't have made the stock go up or down, imo.
