Such a dandy choice, but reading this report on the Pentagon withholding $160 million for meals the Pentagon claims were not served suggests an either or proposition….
The auditors cited Halliburton for having inadequate methods to oversee its spending and its work with subcontractors.
So either they didn’t provide the meals or they can’t account for them properly.
The adults are back in charge, indeed.
Other recent problems:
==Allegations of a kickback scheme by two former workers in Kuwait that prompted Halliburton to reimburse the Pentagon $6.3 million.
==Faulty cost estimates on the $2.7 billion contract to serve troops in Iraq, including failing to tell the Pentagon that KBR fired two subcontractors. KBR admitted those mistakes in a letter to the DCAA.
==A separate DCAA audit that accused KBR of overcharging by $61 million for gasoline delivered to serve the civilian market in Iraq last year. Halliburton has said the charges were proper.
