i saw this on the cnn news ticker an hour ago, didn't much news of this in the blogworld this afternoon, googled it and now i found it online:
yahoo news - jury awards 70$m against halliburton
of course this has nothing to do with iraq (but a chink in the monolithan armor nonetheless) but the law recognized that halli does use some pretty dirty tricks from time to time:
A jury has awarded $70 million to a Houston man who claimed that Halliburton and another oil company cheated him out of the chance to develop an oil field in Kazakhstan in the late 1990s.
Halliburton said it plans to request that the jury award, which has not been entered as a final judgment, be reduced or eliminated, the Houston Chronicle reported Saturday.
lol. that's nice.
now this was back in 1997. wanna risk a guess about who was the ceo back then?
here's a nice little warm and fuzzy quote from mr. cheney:
"The problem is that the good Lord didn't see fit to always put oil and gas resources where there are democratic governments"
amen to that.
