Democratic Policy Committee Hearing

Senate hearing concludes with a demanded for hearings into whistleblowers charges of rampant waste fraud and abuse in Halliburton's monopoly of contracts in the middle east.

Also examined during the hearing was the harm to fair prices created by the policy of excluding competition with the white house sanctioned monopoly of Halliburton.

Jarring examples were provided by the panel of former employees/consultants and watchdog group Taxpayers for Common Sense, but the most outrageous were the ones that contrasted waste such as corporate logos being expensed and stamped on gear while soliders are lacking even basic equipment that would help save their lives such as flak-jackets and armor plated vehicals.
