You all probably remember a week or so ago when there was a big to-do over Haliburton over charging the Government 61 million dollars for gasoline it delivered to Iraq.

If you watched any of the main news sources ABC CBS NBS CNN you heard them make reference time and again to no bid contract" and "Dick Cheney connections to Haliburton"

Did you even once hear them mention that Hailburton was overchaged 61 million dollars by the people they bought the oil from?

Did you even once hear them mention that The Army Corp of Engineers (The Government) told Haliburton who to buy from?

Did you even once hear them say that Haliburton was just passing that over-charge on to the people who told Haliburton where they had to buy the gas?

Well, THAT is the rest of the story. Haliburton wasn't pocketing the over-charge, just trying to regain the money it had lost because it was overcharged by the government's chosen supplier.

Now you know the real story.

Seems that if the press was interested in telling the truth they could have dropped one or two mentions of how Dick Chechy used to be connected to Haliburton and tell these facts. But no. They want to make GWB, Dick Cheney, and Haiburton look bad, and have no interest whatsoever in the truth. They would rather you think Haliburton is pocketing the over-charge out of greed and dishonesty, because that allow them to paint GWB and DC as bad people.

Actually to give CNN proper credit, I did hear them mention ONCE that Haliburton was overcharged for the gas. ONCE!
I got the rest of the info from WBAP, my local Talk radio station.

Thank you WBAP for setting the record straight.
