To the recent news that two Halliburton staffers in Iraq were fired for taking kickbacks of up to $6 million, spokeswoman Wendy Hall said the company had reported the "irregularities" to the authorities.
"We found it quickly, and we immediately reported it."In case anyone has forgotten, Halliburton overcharged the Pentagon for fuel in Iraq and Dick Cheney orchestrated massive tax evasion schemes as their CEO before becoming our Vice President. So as to Hall's comments, this behavior is clearly regular and tolerated at the highest levels.
"We do not tolerate this kind of behaviour by anyone at any level in any Halliburton company."
It amazes me that Martha Stewart is facing jail time while crooks like Cheney are walking the streets.
