Cheney's Halliburton Is Looting Millions in Iraq

One U.S. journalist found that many reconstruction projects that had allegedly been 'rebuilt' had in reality barely been touched. One 'repaired' school was overflowing with raw sewage. When I visited Ramadi and Fallujah in January, people on both towns were angry about chronic water and electricity shortages. Power plants, telephone exchanges and sewage systems all remain looted and bombed out. According to the NGO CorpWatch, only 10 percent of Halliburton's initial $2.2 billion in contracts has been spent on meeting community needs.
