Halliburton will move its headquarters to the United Arab Emirates, where it will save hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes. Halliburton has a $16 billion contract with the U.S. Army. Critics say the move presents a threat to national security.

If we do not have Concentration Camps in the USA, what are those Camps referrenced in the links provided?

I think since Haliburton won no bid contracts for rebuilding Iraq as an American company now those contracts should be put out to bid and performed by an American company since Halliburton is no longer going to be in the US

Mike B. that's not true, Camp X-Ray in Guantanamo is on U.S. territory. What is that if not a concentration camp? Nobody there has been charged with a crime under any valid law, and they've been branded with the made-up term "enemy combatant," whose meaning is akin to "enemy of the state." Only a farce of justice is made, using military courts, as though the people there were soldiers.
Halliburton will do whatever it can to make money... Meathook's right, Congress should require the Army to rebid its contracts to American companies. They'd save BIG money that way, since Kellogg Brown and Root consistently wastes, and probably pockets, most of what it's paid.
Really though the U.S. should just cancel all the contracts and leave. Pay off what it has to, and forget any new contracts. Let whatever Iraqi government ends up in power deal with it. As long as the U.S. Army is there, it is putting off the inevitable crisis of power that will occur when it leaves. Even stable occupied countries, such as in Africa, India, Pakistan, undergo serious turmoil when their occupiers go home.
