Pentagon alleges Iraq rip-off
Cheney's former company may be gouging U.S. for gas
Douglas Jehl, New York Times
Friday, December 12, 2003
Washington --
A Pentagon investigation has found evidence that a subsidiary of the
politically connected Halliburton Co. overcharged the government by as
much as $61 million for gasoline delivered to Iraq under huge no-bid
reconstruction contracts, senior defense officials said on Thursday.
The subsidiary, Kellogg, Brown & Root, also submitted a proposal for
cafeteria services that inflated the cost by $67 million, the
officials said.
The Pentagon rejected that proposal, they said.
The problems involving Halliburton, Vice President ***** Cheney's
former company, were described in a preliminary report by auditors,
the officials said.
They said the issues are a source of deep concern within the Pentagon,
whose contracts with KBR were awarded without competitive bidding and
have a potential value of $15.6 billion.
