Maybe they are trying to change their image.
I heard a good story this week on NPR investigating the allegations that
Haliburton landed Iraq windfall contracts because of Dick Cheny. They thoroughly
and completely debunked it, concluding that Haliburton got the contract because
they knew how to do the job, had the resources, experience, manpower etc to get
the job done and could start immediately. No other company fit the bill.
Speaking of Bill, they also noted that Clinton also chose Haliburton
companies for Bosina contracts, without a bidding process, simply because they
were the best - perhaps the only - choice.
