Halliburton Doing Business in Iran

It amazes me how Halliburton on the one hand takes every advantage of politics in winning lucrative, no-bid contracts on places like Iraq where in 1999, CEO Dick Cheney was arguing before Congress that Iraq was a good place and sanctions against doing business with them should be lifted, when they then turn around and cry "foul" that politics are used against them once their evil doing gets exposed.

Well, we've had a ban on American companies doing business with Iran for sometime and tonight - lo and behold! - we learn Halliburton's been right there in Iran doing business.
