Halliburton's dirty laundry.There is new evidence that Halliburton is taking U.S. taxpayers to the cleaners in Iraq. And I mean literally. Halliburton has been caught charging $100 for each 15 pound bag of laundry their workers put in their washing machines, according to NBC's Lisa Myers, who adds that the company has also been charging $45 a case for soda. Auditors report that Halliburton employees live in five-star hotels and buy "high-end SUVs" loaded with unnecessary options. When a Halliburton employee complained to her supervisor about the extravagance, she was told, "We can be as dumb and stupid as we want in the first year of war, nobody's going to complain." Another Halliburton worker who was disturbed at not having enough to do to justify his $82,000 salary was told, "Just log in twelve hours a day and walk around and look busy." |
