Cheney's Haliburton Pays $2 Million for Defrauding the Government

The New York Times reported on February 8, 2002, that Kellog Brown & Root, a
military contractor will pay the government $2 million to settle accusations
that it defrauded the government. The US attorney's office said the company,
a Houston subsidiary of the multinational energy services corporation
Haliburton was accused of inflating contract prices for maintenance and
repairs at Fort Ord, a now closed military base near Monterrey, California.
Vice President Dick Cheney was Haliburton's chairman and chief executive
when the government says Kellogg Brown & Root made the false claims and
statements. Although no evidence has yet to surface about any Cheney
involvement, where's the clamor for a special prosecutor to investigate
whether any evidence exists tying Cheney to the apparent fraud. Read about
it here.
