Rep Dingell accuses Halliburton of "arrogance" on CNBC

[Eric J in MN]

On CNBC just now, Rep Dingell of the Energy Committee accused Halliburton of "arrogance" and said that "you could transport gas from the South Pole to Iraq for less than Halliburton is charging to transport it 400 miles from Kuwait to Iraq."

He said he's sent 7 letters to the Bush Administration since October about Halliburton overcharging, and has received no replies.

Also said that $87 billion was preceded by $79 billion, with more billions to come.

2. Well, arrogance is an understatement in a way

;) But I am sure glad someone is getting the truth out on this. And it sounds like Dingell's got a paper trail going, too.
