| US probes Halliburton payments to Nigeria | |
| 2004-06-13 | |
| (Here we go again.....) US regulators have launched a formal investigation into allegations that a Halliburton joint venture paid bribes to win a multi-billion dollar construction project in Nigeria. The US Securities and Exchange Commission had requested information to determine whether Halliburton broke US laws against bribing officials abroad, the oil services company disclosed on Friday. It said it was also discussing the matter with the justice department . Halliburton said it was co-operating with the inquiry.

| #3 sadly, the press makes it so that these tactics work . If we can't fight the press on it's own terms, expect a Kerry presidency. The world better wake up and ask themselves if they really want the US to fall. It won't be like getting the mean ol' principal fired, it will be like closing down the school. Sounds good at first - till you realize what you really lost out on. |

| #2 "Dotcom"--how right you are! I am sick almost unto death of the Left and their "Cheney's raping Iraq and the American people for Halliburton," "Bush knew/Bush is Hitler," and "Face the horror of our Abu Grab prison abuse." Make it stop!!! |

| #1 Congress must be positively giggling with delight - so many vital "investigations" to occupy their time so they needn't actually face the duties for which they were elected. And all that TV face time, too. *swoon* |
