National Security demands that the US government seize Halliburton.

[hootinholler]

It should be seized and placed in receivership. The US military Logistical Capabilities support is at stake. They have done a corrupt and piss poor job of it. The company should be seized and placed in receivership while it is investigated.

After all, if they catch him with a joint, Billy-Bob's trans am belongs to the sheriff while it is prosecuted. How is moving the corporation to Dubai different?

1. You've got that right....Dick and Lynn Cheney have their stooges

....socking away millions of dollars while this company robs the American tax payer blind

3. War profiteers are traitors

throw the bums out (or throw 'em in jail)

4. You want the government to sieze Halliburton?

Sounds a little fascist to me. Maybe cutting them off would be a wiser more Democratic move.

[hootinholler]

5. Yes and place it in recievership

That is not a fascistic move, it is done routinely for bankruptcies.

Now please explain how the current relationship to Halliburton isn't fascistic?

6. Seizure

Why not just cancel their contracts? Probably a much more legitimate action than outright seizure, which probably could not stand constitutional scrutiny

[hootinholler]

7. Because the contracts were likely obtained illegally

Also they were not executed properly. This is about:
1: Protecting the logistical capability of the military and
2: Recovering what can be recovered from the billions funneled into the organization.

I'm not saying seize it without due process, thus the receivership during investigation and any ensuing trials.
