So long, and thanks for all the no-bid contracts

Halliburton to move headquarters to Dubai

Where do you start with this? You can start with a nice, angry overview of Halliburton here at Halliburton Watch. You can read an editorial here, a Salon piece on Halliburton in Iraq here, and a nice little piece from that left-wing rag Business Week here. If you've got some time to kill, you can Google "Halliburton Profiteering", "Halliburton wrongdoing", or "Halliburton greed".

*Note: the facility pictured above is not the new Halliburton HQ in Dubai. It's a picture of the Khalifa Resort in Kuwait ,where Halliburton subsidiary KBR set up shop in 2002 to prepare "support" for American troops about to invade Iraq. KBR ran a hotel tab of about $1.5 million per month while they subcontracted (and overcharged) billions of dollars worth of that "support."

How long, Lord?
