Partnership for a Drug-Free America and Corporate Drug Wars.

Partnership for a Drug-Free America and Corporate Drug Wars.: "Halliburton is another US corporation that benefits from war. This corporation's patron saint is its former CEO, Vice President Dick Cheney, who is accused of using insider influence to unfairly garner billions of dollars for Halliburton via non-competitive Iraq rebuilding contracts. The company is accused of fraudulently wasting hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars and committing other major corporate crimes in Iraq, Nigeria and elsewhere.

The United Nations says the Bush administration is withholding information from auditors examining more than $1 billion in contracts awarded to Halliburton and other companies in Iraq without competitive bidding. Sources say Halliburton, Bechtel and other US corporations have likely diverted or misspent millions of dollars of Iraqi oil money that was supposed to have been spent rebuilding the country destroyed by weapons manufactured by US corporations."
