Bin Laden’s Reference to Halliburton in New Tape Reflects Company’s Image
But questions about Halliburton have less to do with how fine its employees may be, but rather, about the fact that Halliburton has become under the Bush administration the largest contractor in Iraq. With estimates of contracts totaling up to $18 billion, Halliburton was in some cases offered no-bid exclusive government contracts.

"Nobody has produced one single shred of evidence that there's anything wrong or inappropriate here, nothing but innuendo, and … basically political cheap shots is the way I would describe it," Cheney said on NBC's Meet the Press last Fall. "I have no financial interest in Halliburton of any kind and haven't had now for over three years," he added.

It's 3 pages long, but worth the read.
