The Defense Department said yesterday that Halliburton Co. will reimburse the government $27.4 million for possible overcharges for food services in Iraq and Kuwait.
...
KBR runs dining facilities for soldiers and civilians under a Defense Department contract it won in 2001 to provide food, shelter and other logistical support to the U.S. military throughout the world. The company has been awarded $3.8 billion in work under the contract.
I guess that's a lot more than just pickles and lettuce. Come to KBR, we'll let you have it our way!

These accusations and charges just keep coming... I wonder if KBR will get canned for poor performance?
An earlier report quoted $16 million for a single mess hall in Kuwait. They estimated they were servinge 42,000 when they actually serving 14,000.
I seem to remember signing in at chow halls.

i swear i don't know how these folks can call themselves Americans, can say that they're supporting the troops, and still be able to sleep at night and have no problems looking at themselves in the mirror.
Sharing a duckblind vs. blind justice
By Daniel Schorr
WASHINGTON -
The hunting camp is owned by the head of a local oil services company. The local police were asked to keep their presence a secret. Speak of undisclosed locations!
A lower court ordered Mr. Cheney to release the records. The administration appealed to the Supreme Court, which announced on Dec. 15 that it would hear the case. Three weeks later, on Jan. 5, Justice Antonin Scalia and several others flew down to southern Louisiana with the vice president on his official plane, Air Force Two, for a few days of duck hunting.
For more than two years, Vice President Dick Cheney has been resisting demands that he release records of the energy task force that he headed. The Sierra Club and Judicial Watch want to know especially whether industry figures, like Ken Lay of Enron, helped to write a policy that favored oil and gas companies.
Thanks to prometheus6 for the link. A very radical blog.
