From Reuters -

David Hudak, who spent 17 months in prison before being acquitted last November on a variety of federal weapons charges, filed suit in federal court in New Mexico on Oct. 12. He is seeking damages from the companies for deceiving him into thinking he was buying munitions legally.

"U.S. military warheads and U.S. military hardware are supposed to stay with the U.S. military," said Robert Gorence, a lawyer for Hudak.

The lawsuit contends that Jet Research Center, a division of Halliburton Energy Services and others conspired to sell thousands of U.S. military warheads to Hudak and others. The suit contends the sales to the private sector were not permissible under the rules by which the companies acquired the munitions.

The lawsuit contends the companies were obligated to destroy the munitions but found it more profitable to sell them instead.


Makes you wonder where those missing weapons of mass destruction went to. Maybe we should ask Halliburton.
