Oops!...Halliburton Did It Again!
To review, Uncle Dick did business with the embodiment of evil, Saddam Hussein in 1998. Now, it appears that Halliburton (wholly-owned subsidiary of the United States Government) has been doing business with another bunch of evil-doers, Iran.
HOUSTON (Reuters) - Oil field services company Halliburton Co. said on Monday its Cayman Islands unit with operations in Iran had received a subpoena from a grand jury earlier this month.
"In July 2004, Halliburton received from an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Texas a grand jury subpoena requesting the production of documents. We intend to cooperate with the government's investigation," Halliburton said in a filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Halliburton, formerly headed by Vice President Dick Cheney, has been cooperating since 2001 with the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control in an inquiry into its operations in Iran.
