Look Up "Ethics" in the Dictionary, and You Don't See Halliburton's Logo (Really!)

Of course, I'm sure Halliburton just took this ethical slide since they lost the fatherly wonderfulness of Dick (and we do mean Dick) Cheney:

A Halliburton subsidiary is under investigation by the US stock market regulator over allegations it paid bribes for Nigerian gas contracts.

Kellogg Brown and Root (KBR) and three other partner firms allegedly paid $180m (£99m) in bribes, the SEC says.

US Vice President Dick Cheney was head of oil services conglomerate Halliburton at the time.

Halliburton says it has become a political target and insists it did nothing wrong.
I always take comfort when someone who works for the president investigates someone else who works for the president. Don't you?
