BushCo. Visits to My Sites
http://www.HALwhistleblowers.org
http://www.BushBunglesBrigade.org
http://www.UnsafeAtAnyFee.org (currently on hiatus, to get ready for the next Social Security Privatization push by Bush)

These have been crawling with Halliburton and BakerBotts traffic, especially since I first started filing these materials with the SEC:

http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?co...

To see the Halliburton and BakerBotts traffic for yourself, visit either of the first two sites.

- David A. Smith, Editor of the above sites
(not to be confused with David R. Smith, the as-yet-unindicted VP of Tax at Halliburton, my former employer)

P.S. Time to update the list of BushCo. traffic this weekend, I think.

2. Yeah, well, their lawyers want to see what your posting.
They'd be derelict in their duty if they didn't take the most obvious steps to discover what claims are being made against them.

5. Yes, maybe true. I'm just saying whether your seeking evidence of libel
or just trying to get a handle on the allegations made against you, checking out a website would be the easiest thing to do. So that isn't especially remarkable.

6. Compulsively Checking...
... the sites, to see what's new, isn't remarkable. You're probably right.

7. Dick Cheney and the start of Haliburton........
If you really are talking to the media, the one thing I beg you to stress over and over is the fact that when Dick Cheney was secretary of defense, the Pentagon study was done that said the armed forces could operate more efficiently if it contracted outside companies to do things like set up food services for the troops, etc.

As a direct result of that study, Haliburton received billions of dollars in government contracts to begin supplying some of those services. Dick Cheney then left government service to go work for: Haliburton.

I mean come on.........the military has fed itself forever. How on earth could it be more effective to hire some civilians to come into a war zone and set up kitchens to feed the troops then it is to just let the troops carry their own food supplies and feed themselves?

IT ISNT!!!!! Its not even like it actually free's up the soldiers who used to be army cooks so they could be on the front line, because for every cook that doesnt have to cook anymore, you need two soldiers to guard the civilians. Its absurd to think that an outside contractor can set up latrines and mess halls better then military men and women can do for themselves. That study needs to be televised and studied, and REDONE to show that the whole bullshit study was done to bilk the military of billions

BUT for the guy in charge of the military at the time the study was done to later go be a ceo for one of the companies that got billion dollars in contracts based on those contracts? COME ON!!!!!!

I never could understand why the media back then wasnt all over the fact that the guy had gone to work for a company he awarded billion dollar contracts too. If anyone should have been investigated and jailed for misusing the power of their government office, and for corruption and graft, it was Cheney. And for this issue.

Cheney was Secretary of Defense. During his time as Secretary of Defense a Pentagon study was done that resulted in Haliburton being awarded billion dollar contracts to do basic things our military had always done itself like food services. Cheney left government service to go help run the company he had awarded billion dollar contracts too as a result of a bogus study he had commissioned. No one seems to care..........

PLEASE, please, please look into this aspect of the whole Haliburton/Cheney thing. If you do have the ears of producers and editors, just point out it might make for some interesting investigative journalism/documentary type projects.

You know just, mention that it might be interesting to find out when Haliburton was awarded its first government contract and why? And who was in charge of the military at the time that first contract was awarded.......ya know?
