Interesting. I'd like to know if Halliburton got more money to their bottom line with the Kuwaiti oil, as a result of the structure of their contract, than they would have gotten from Turkey in the first place. As a cynic, I would just like to know that.

Can't answer your question but I saw an interview with the head of Haliburton on one of the news channels. He stated that the corporation in Kuwait had lost 60 tanker trucks and seven drivers had been killed transporting the fuel into Iraq. I guess you have to profit somewhere to make up those kind of losses.

Wonder how this would spin if Algore had been the former C.E.O.? Nevermind...Haliburton WHO?

I don't know the answer to that. If they did profit it sounds as though it was a government imposed profit. It's just another fine example of government regulations costing the taxpayer money.
