11. Lest we forget, Haliburton is aiding and abetting Iran in weapons upgrades
I knew there was a good reason to save this article. It's war time, let's seize all of Haliburton's profits and other assets and pay off the war, repair social security, etc..

Halliburton Secretly Doing Business with Key Member of Iran’s Nuclear Team


by Jason Leopold

August 5, 200

Scandal-plagued Halliburton, the oil services company once headed by Vice President Dick was secretly working with one of Iran’s top nuclear scientists on natural gas related projects and, allegedly, selling the scientists’ oil company key components for a nuclear reactor, according to Halliburton sources with intimate knowledge of both companies’ business dealings.

Just last week a National Security Council report said Iran was a decade away from acquiring a nuclear bomb. That time frame could arguably have been significantly longer if Halliburton, which just reported a 284 percent increase in its fourth quarter profits due to its Iraq reconstruction contracts, was not actively providing the Iranian government with the financial means to build a nuclear weapon.



-------- Iran was being targeted for invasion in June or July, but the anti-war protests and the NSC report made people breathe easier for a moment. So then, Haliburton sneaks in and tries to up the timetable on their readiness for WMD so that *ush has another terror threat to distract US with.

I would call that TREASON.
