The "No duh" headline of the year.
Halliburton overcharged, probe finds
A Pentagon investigation has found overcharging and other violations in a $15.6 billion Iraq reconstruction contract awarded to Vice President Dick Cheney’s former company, a defense official said Thursday.
AN ONGOING AUDIT of Halliburton’s Kellogg, Brown & Root subsidiary found substantial overcharging for fuel and other items, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The problems go beyond overcharging, the official said, declining to elaborate.
It's almost impossible to feel any rage or disgust about this.
