Wait are we really saying that the attacks made by democrats against Halliburton are ok? That ALL the conspiracy theories about Darth Cheney and Halliburton were legitimate?

That’s quite a a leap you’ve taken. That is if you’re being serious.

I don’t know the specifics but when a company is involved in national security interests and endeavors that the normal legals means of regress aren’t apparent. It’s not the same to be involved in war time activities as it is to say a public or private project. Many of the contracts rewarded to Haliburon in Iraq for example were done on a no-bid basis. So if you’re running an operation that is classified or secret you won’t get the same transparency for obvious reasons.
