Halliburton may have overcharged millions
In other news, no duh!

Auditors found that Dick 'Chicanery' Cheney's "former" company overcharged the Army by as much as $61 million for gasoline in Iraq, but {cough} may not have {cough choke} profited {cough} from it, at least that's tonight's story.

Congress' General Accounting Office also found in 1997 and 2000 that subsidiary KBR had billed the Army for questionable expenses on its support contracts for operations in the Balkans. Those reviews cited instances such as charging $85.98 per sheet of plywood that cost $14.06 and billing the Army for cleaning some offices up to four times per day.
