I dunno about you guys, but if I had some sweet, overblown, no-bid Govt contracts, I would try to do everything right, so as not to raise any more suspicion or accusations of favoritism.


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Army should withhold payment of 15 percent of Halliburton Co.'s future invoices in Iraq (news - web sites) due to billing problems, said the chief auditor for U.S.-funded work in Iraq on Wednesday.

Stuart Bowen, Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction, said in a memorandum to Army auditors and commanders he believes U.S. contract laws requiring a withholding when conditions are not met should be imposed on Halliburton unit Kellogg Brown and Root.
