Halliburton
The FBI is now involved in the investigation surrounding the no bid contracts with the U.S. Army. There were already ongoing investigations concerning overcharging of the Army for fuel.
It's telling to hear the spokesperson for Halliburton deflect criticism by saying the charges are just election year politics. It seems to me they would want to distance themselves from their relationship to VP Dick Cheney. By talking about the political overtones I think they're actually drawing more attention to themselves.
Not that I think that's a bad thing.
