Can you imagine the nerve of the guy driving a gasoline tanker in a war
zone!

Well, if that's your sense of corporate ethics, don't forget to buy

stock in
Halliburton. But, wait, Bush is making them return some of the profits

they
made for selling gas at $2.80 a gallon in Baghdad. So, even the mighty

"Shrub"
recognizes that there is indeed a line where profits become gouging,

right?

$2.80? Better check your facts. Halliburton's KBR subsidiary charged the

Army
between $1.62 and $1.70 per gallon. While the average price in the Middle

East
is/was around $.71 per gallon, Halliburton charged that price for

'guaranteed'
delivery. Not to bad considering the logistics of doing so in a war zone.

Could you do better? No? I thought not.
