corruption

Once post 9/11 hysteria in the U.S. subsided Americans began to reflect on what happened that day and since.  Our collective sense of national pride was renewed helping to make us stronger.  We realized how precious our freedoms and liberties were.  We became more vigilant over anything that threatened our way of life and culture.  In the face of tragedy we pulled together.
 

When the Bush Administration decided for the American public that there would be no fair bidding process to ensure the best possible deal for the taxpayers in return for support services provided during the War in Iraq they signed us on for more than just what is at face value.  We know the American people are on the hook to Halliburton, its subsidiaries and all its sub-contractors for billions of dollars as long as we are in Iraq.  This includes whoever Halliburton chooses for hotel services, food supplies and of course their private security contractors.  Since 9/11 American concerns over private security, their costs (financial and otherwise) and their role in our national security have come under scrutiny.
