$559 Million Worth of Bribery -- Halliburton
Edited on Tue Jan-27-09 07:57 AM by Stingo
Halliburton was caught bribing foreign officials for business, and now is trying to settle with the US government rather than see several of its executives go to jail.

5. Probably trying to get it done before Holder gets confirmed.
I bet Specter's hold on Holder is for the purpose of this and other similar stuff they are desperately trying to get swept away before the new government has a chance to affect it.

6. Specter needs some good opposition
in 2010. We should target him.
