Don't worry, I read that article and many more.
Thunderballs, I'm afraid YOU don't have your facts straight, the cheaper oil was from Turkey, not Kuwait. I also didn't see anywhere in the "probe" where it said Bush/Cheney are screwing the country...are you sure you can read?
Who knows the details of when the two different contractors delivered the fuel, where they delivered it and the actual contract arrangements, I don't know those details.
Did Haliburton get this contract because of Cheney? Neither you nor I will ever know. I do know I have heard it asked often today what other company could have provided the services that Haliburton did, and so far no other company has been named.
I saw so many overcharges/undercharges in audits on the Alaska oilfields, and the resulting billing adjustments, this just didn't seem like such a big deal to me. There is a contract, and a reason for audits, if there was an overchage, there will be an adjustment to the bill.
