Halliburton: We Win While You Lose

Guess who is getting contracts again?

The military has agreed to pay a Halliburton subsidiary up to $5 billion for another year of care and feeding of U.S. forces in Iraq, a military spokeswoman said Thursday.

The task order calls for Kellogg Brown and Root Services Inc. of Arlington, Va., to provide things like food and laundry service, showers, drinking water and other "quality of life" services for troops in Iraq, said Linda Theis, a spokeswoman for U.S. Army Field Support Command in Rock Island, Ill. The job also includes some fuel transport and other services.
