Halliburton gets another Hurricane Katrina contract for $33 million (HalliburtonWatch.org) 12 Oct 2005 The U.S. Navy awarded $33 million to Halliburton for 'clean-up' work at naval air stations damaged by Hurricane Katrina, the Department of Defense announced last night. The money will be added to the $12 million awarded to Halliburton on August 29, the day Katrina made landfall. Both awards, totalling $45 million, require the company to repair structures and remove debris at naval air stations in Pascagoula and Gulfport, Mississippi and in Louisiana.

1. 33 Mill is chump change compared to

the hundreds of billions of tax dollars Cheney has put in the Halliburton coffers.

2. What can be done to stop these Russian Politburo contracts?

A conversation on this topic:

I don't understand why there aren't revolts over that Halliburton crap.
It's so Russian Politburo.And so obvious.

ayep.that it is.

Are we that stupid? Or do we just not care as long as it doesn't bother us? Actually, I know many people are bothered by it but we don't do anything. What could we do?

That's the million dollar question - what could we do - other than continue to write our representatives (who don't represent us) and our pro-torture senator and the thieving senator.

3. 400-500 gallons of acid spills from Halliburton truck onto highway

Oops! 400-500 gallons of acid spills from Halliburton truck onto highway 12 Oct 2005 Authorities in Mesa County are working to clean up hundreds of gallons of acid that fell from a truck early Wednesday morning. Assistant fire chief Greg Martin says two containers carrying the acid belonging to the Halliburton Company fell off a truck on Colorado 141 about a mile-and-a-half south of Interstate 70. (Maybe they can take some of the *$33 million* and use it to clean up after *themselves,* prior to going to the Gulf Coast.)
