Halliburton gets contract to repair damage from Hurricane Katrina
(HalliburtonWatch.org) 02 Sep 2005 The US Navy asked Halliburton to
repair naval facilities damaged by Hurricane Katrina, the Houston
Chronicle reported today. The work was assigned to Halliburton's KBR
subsidiary under the Navy's $500 million CONCAP contract awarded to KBR
in 2001 and renewed in 2004. The repairs will take place in Louisiana
and Mississippi. In March, the former director of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA), which is tasked with responding to hurricane
disasters, became a lobbyist for KBR.

Flood protection money went to Halliburton ..??
maybe cheneys company will rebuild now??

Bunatine Green house knows all..and has said she was intimidated into
signing off on no bid contracts

"September 1, 2005 -- Flood protection money to Halliburton = Blood
money for the Big Easy. With reports that the Bush administration
diverted $250 million in SELA (Southeast Louisiana) Urban Flood Control
Program funds from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to Iraq, it is time
for Congress to sit down with former Corps of Engineers Senior Executive
Service Principal Assistant for Contracting Bunnatine Greenhouse. Ms.
Greenhouse, who hails from Louisiana and likely knows something about
who diverted the flood abatement funds to Halliburton, was fired in
retaliation for her June 27 congressional testimony in which she stated
that Corps contracts for Kellogg, Brown & Root/Halliburton Iraq
infrastructure projects were improperly awarded -- through a no-bid
process -- as a result of political influence by Bush and Cheney
political appointees in the Army's hierarchy. On August 27, Ms.
Greenhouse was removed from her career civil service position just as
Hurricane Katrina bore down on New Orleans. Congress should order the
Government Accountability Office (GAO) to obtain copies of all Corps of
Engineer documents on contracts for Halliburton and the diverting of New
Orleans flood control funds to Iraq reconstruction. The possibility that
Dick Cheney's firm took money that was to go to New Orleans flood
control projects should be a priority for Congress -- which should
cancel its Labor Day recess and get back to work before September 12.
(Late today, it announced it was reconvening immediately).

It is no wonder that Dick Cheney is nowhere to be found during America's
worst natural disaster. When the people of New Orleans discover that
Cheney's firm profited at the expense of their loved ones' lives..."
