"There's no more pungent symbol of the corrupt nature of the Bush administration's invasion and occupation of Iraq than Halliburton, the Houston, Texas-based oil services conglomerate, which has made billions from the war even in the face of charges of massive overbilling, shoddy work, official bribery and political influence-peddling.

The remarkable thing is that Halliburton's looting of Iraq and the US treasury happened in broad daylight, right under the nose of the press, the Democrats and Michael Moore, who made Dick Cheney's former company the bete noir of his film "9/11." Nothing deterred the company from capitalizing on the war it helped orchestrate."

1. It was a great article

The article was written by Jeffrey St. Clair, a co-editor of CounterPunch, and is an excerpt from his upcoming book titled "Grand Theft Pentagon."

It is a long read as it covers the rise of Halliburton and Brown and Root. It is informative in what it says about LBJ and Cheney.
