The same reason that everyone else did. Haliburton built Iraq's oil infrastructure, and therefore are the most qualified company to rebuild and maintain it. As much as I'd like to see Cheney hung for corruption, I don't think that a Democrat or any other president would be doing anything differently (assuming that the war had happened*)
I think that the people at Haliburton should get a nice memo mentioning that another company is doing what they're doing at less than 20% of the price, and that maybe they should try cutting costs.
* - Do not, I repeat, do not aruge about this statement. My intent is to say that this decision is logical.
