The Kuwait Halliburton scandal continues to rear its ugly head in the American media.
According to The Los Angeles Times Editorial (March 4, 2006):
"U.S. taxpayers are getting an expensive lesson in the costs of private contractors" and that Halliburton Co. subsidiary Kellog, Brown and Root overpaid $208 million for transporting oil to the U.S. Army in Iraq subsequently leading the U.S. Government to shell out $204 million in 'reimbursement costs' to Halliburton.
The Editorial cited the reasons for the exhorbitant cost:
"The conditions of war and the fact that Kuwait Petroleum Corp., the company that supplied the oil itself, backed Altanmia during the negotiations and was a hard-nosed bargainer".
