Saddam: 'Bush the real criminal'
'Nuff said.




Taxpayers paying $50,000 a month for Halliburton's sodas
"It’s just a gravy train," says former employee Marie deYoung.

[T]here was no effort to hold down costs because all costs were passed on directly to taxpayers. She repeatedly complained to superiors of waste and fraud. The company's response, according to deYoung was: "We can be as dumb and stupid as we want in the first year of a war, nobody’s going to care."

DeYoung produced documents detailing alleged waste even on routine services: $50,000 a month for soda, at $45 a case; $1 million a month to clean clothes — or $100 for each 15-pound bag of laundry.

"That money could have been used to take care of soldiers," she said.
