HALLIBURTON KNEW IT WAS OVERCHARGING

From the Houston Chronicle:

Halliburton Co.'s own auditors warned company executives the firm was overcharging taxpayers to import fuel into Iraq, Sen. Joseph Lieberman said late Thursday.

Presidential candidate Lieberman pointed to an internal Halliburton document he said warned that the fuel prices were excessive and in violation of federal contracting regulations -- a document the senator said supported a preliminary Pentagon assessment that the Houston company overcharged the government by as much as $61 million to truck in fuel from Kuwait.


Well, whaddaya know? Lieberman's good for something, after all.
