I don't want to hear... "They are stealing it", or "taking it out of peoples pockets." Obviously they are not just walking away with money and people shrug their shoulders and wave good bye.... What do they do to make the money??? Transporting oil, pipelines, rebuilding, selling chairs??? What are they doing?

Halliburton provides oil well services widely used in the industry internationally. It's a very good company and versed in what they do. The money that they make is for providing those services to those companies that are actually drilling and producing the oil in Iraq. We use them here in the states too! They may have been warranted an "no bid" contract, but that's not their fault,it's the governments, and they should have a process in place to take care of that. Halliburton is also big enough that they do ther Own work and no sub out to others, unless they do not have that certain expertise, and in my dealings with them, they have all areas of expertise. So don'tbelieve everything you hear!

Halliburton basically is rebuilding the petroleon extraction industry in Iraq. I think everything but drilling. Pipelines, refineries and whatnot.

Much like Senator Diane Feinstein's husband is:
According to The Center for Public Integrity, Senator Feinstein’s husband Richard Blum has racked in millions of dollars from Perini, a civil infrastructure construction company, of which the billionaire investor wheels 75 percent of Perini’s voting share.
He's scored bundles from war contracts. He has recently purchased a $16.5 million crib in San Francisco and along with his wife has handed hundreds of thousands of dollars over to fellow Democrats. Since the 2000 election cycle, Blum has contributed over $75,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Committee, and thousands more to individual Democrats, including John Kerry, Robert Byrd, Joe Lieberman, Ted Kennedy, and Barbara Boxer.
Senator Feinstein, who sits on the Appropriations Committee as well as the Select Committee on Intelligence, is reaping the benefits of her husband’s investments. The Democratic royal family recently purchased a 16.5 million dollar mansion in the flush Pacific Heights neighborhood of San Francisco. It’s a disgusting display of war profiteering and the leading Democrat, just like Cheney, should be called out for her offense.
Think that will happen?

they are taking no-bid contracts and bidding them out to sub-contractors who will do the work for a fraction of Halliburton's contract price. The fault lay more with the government using the "no-bid" process. Halliburton is just exploiting it.
