Subject: RE: BS: Hmmm - Maybe we should ask Halliburton
well cbc's fifth estate had a good documentary about Cheney and Halliburton. The most interesting bit was about Halliburton selling equipment & parts to Iran (in violation of US law) through an intermediary (a Canadian from Iran). They got around the law by selling through their office in the Cayman Islands (which happens to be only a mailbox). Of course the buyer wasnt doing anything illegal as he was in Canada. But according to US investigators it didnt matter he was violating US law. He was lured to the US to meet with a supplier and promptly arrested and spent several years in jail.
His question was why am I in jail and not Dick Cheney (who was vp at the time). Good QUestion. bet that documentary wont play on fox.
