guess what?

"BP, rig owner Transocean and oilfield services contractor Halliburton have all pointed fingers at each other for the disaster."

I was reading a story about the oil spill and came across Halliburton. I wondered what all they were into so I Googled it. Holy Crap, I can't even begin, they've got their hand in everything. You'd think that between them and BP and Transocean, at least they'd have the money to clean up the mess they made in the Gulf but I bet Halliburton gets out of it. If you remember, our last vice-president was CEO of Halliburton before George W. picked him. (and he's also the VP that shot his hunting buddy in the face)

Here's a quote and a link to a story on Halliburton, you read it and kinda think they may have expected trouble:

"Halliburton is under Justice Department Securities and Exchange Commission investigation over allegations of improper dealings in Iraq, Kuwait and Nigeria," Whitley Strieber wrote March 12, 2007.

Halliburton announced on March 12, 2007, that "it would open a corporate headquarters in the United Arab Emirates city of Dubai and move its chairman and chief executive, David J. Lesar, there." [1] "Halliburton will remain a US company subject to US laws, but Dubai has no extradition agreement with the United States, meaning that Mr. Lesar could not be compelled to return to the US to testify, stand trial or serve any sentence related to any Halliburton activities under investigation."
The company will also maintain its existing corporate office in Houston, Texas, "as well as its legal incorporation in the United States, meaning that it will still be subject to domestic laws and regulations."
In February 2007, "Congress was told that $2.7 billion paid to Halliburton and its subsidiaries and subcontractors for work done in Iraq was either excessive or unsupported," Strieber wrote. "Another upcoming investigation that affects Halliburton is the current scandal at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. The Washington Post reported that the Army agreed to privatize the operation of Walter Reed by awarding a $120 million contract to IAP Worldwide Services, a contractor with connections to KBR, a Halliburton subsidiary."
"Although the announcement of the new Dubai arrangement took many by surprise, Halliburton said that the move was part of a strategy announced in mid-2006 to concentrate its efforts in the Middle East and surrounding areas, where state-owned oil companies represent a growing source of business."
