A recent lawsuit filed in Washington by a former Halliburton employees claims that the government was charged for such things as widescreen TV’s, and snacks that Halliburton had shipped to Iraq in 2005.

The lawsuit also claims that the government was sometimes double and triple charged for Internet, food and athletic services provided for U.S. soldiers, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.

Interesting thing to note is that Halliburton was run by Vice President Dick Cheney from 1995-2000. This also that same company that had all of its employees “donate” the maximum amount to the Bush Reelection campaign.

Hopefully the company gets sued, and the government gets some of its money back, but until this happens we taxpayers can be pleased to know that our Governments back handling of the whole process of contracts can lead to atrocities like this happening.

The suit was filed under the False Claims Act, designed to prevent war profiteering by allowing citizens to sue on behalf of the government and recover a portion of damages.

And they say that the story of the 600 dollar hammer and the 200 dollar toilet seat are false?

Stuff like this PISSES ME OFF!
