It is possible there are other explanations, explanations that are not diabolical.
If the system of checks and balances have failed in Washington. The explanation has to be that Congress has failed. Congress controls the money.
There is no doubt that the GOP is greedy. Most people in the republican party will readily admit wanting more than what is needed for survival. I am greedy. I drive a car that can go 155 mph., I have a house with a spare bedroom, I consume more than 2500 calories per day. The more interesting issue is that some people acctually think they are not greedy, or that the democrats are not greedy. I say wow!!!
The point is not to fight greed, but is to understand it. Use it to your advantage. Or, as Yoda would say - Luke, use the force.

All I am really saying is that the accusations need looked into.
I don't believe they would intentionally contaminate, however, given Halliburton's past, I could see them cutting corners for the money and not doing all they promised to do.
I don't know if the accusations are true or false, but God Damn we owe it to the men and women over there to make sure they aren't and that Halliburton does what it not only promises to do, but what it is paid to do.
I agree EVERYONE is greedy to some degree. But whether pro or con on the war the troops deserve the best.
