Because every Real American should know about this
I am posting this link to the WaPo story. It will not be the last, by any means.
A former worker for a Halliburton Co. subsidiary faces up to 20 years in prison and a fine of as much as $1.25 million after pleading guilty late last week to taking kickbacks in Iraq in a scheme that defrauded the U.S. government, court records show.Just in case you forgot what the first guy did.
It marks the second case this year of a Halliburton worker facing criminal charges in connection with the company's work in Iraq.
In March, a former KBR manager named Jeff Alex Mazon was charged in an indictment with defrauding the U.S. government of nearly $4 million by inflating the price of fuel tankers for military operations. He is accused of taking $1 million from a subcontractor. In that case, too, federal prosecutors began to investigate after an internal KBR investigation uncovered evidence of wrongdoing.If the little guys are getting $1.25MM and $5 MM, just imagine how much "Oily Dick" Cheney is getting.
