Sadly, I think no.
Halliburton Co. executives ordered a big-screen television and 10 large tubs of tacos, chicken wings and cheese sticks delivered to Iraq for last year's Super Bowl, then billed U.S. taxpayers for their party, according to a lawsuit unsealed Friday.
The Houston-based company also defrauded the government by double- and triple-billing for Internet, food and gym services for soldiers, according to the lawsuit by a former employee for KBR, the Halliburton subsidiary that runs dining halls for troops in Iraq.

ummmm tok_h I provided the link, which you obviously followed. The company explanation doesn't justify double and triple billing does it? Or do you consider that liberal bias too?

That it happened is not unusual, that they got caught is unusual. That is the VPs company from the presidents home state.

How about this paragraph, same story---->>>> The company did not deny ordering the TV and the food; it set up snack buffets and screenings at military bases throughout Iraq for the 2005 Super Bowl. But KBR noted that its contract allowed the firm to provide recreation and morale-boosting services for its employees and for American soldiers. You should really be thorough and paste the whole story not the convenient liberal side.
