The World According to Halliburton....
Halliburton has been enjoying a good couple of years. Since September 11, the Bush administration has awarded the world's second largest oil-services company at least $2.2 billion in defense-related business.

The Mother Jones website is featuring a fascinating (and frightening) map of the Halliburton empire. Created by Michael Scherer, this interactive map lets you explore the tax havens, defense-related contracts, and federal energy subsidies in the company's global web consisting of offices in 70 countries and annual revenues of $12.6 billion.

2. Didn't I hear someone say recently Halliburton was listed as a small
business according to Smirk's government?

Small, as in "not yet universal (literally)."

3. Halliburton's world view: Everything here is ours!
Oil? It's ours. Defense contracts? Ours. Just gotta keep the dummy in the WH.
