t r u t h o u t - Bush Administration Stonewalling U.N. Auditors on Iraq No-Bid Contracts
Double standards, double standards. The Clinton adminstration got grilled in the media because they couldn't find a couple of boxes of Whitewater documents. Why doesn't the "liberal media" cover this with such vigor?
t r u t h o u t - Bush Administration Stonewalling U.N. Auditors on Iraq No-Bid Contracts
United Nations - The Bush administration is withholding information from U.N.-sanctioned auditors examining more than $1 billion in contracts awarded to Halliburton Co. and other companies in Iraq without competitive bidding, the head of the international auditing board said Thursday.
Jean-Pierre Halbwachs, the U.N. representative to the International Advisory and Monitoring Board (IAMB), said that the United States has repeatedly rebuffed his requests since March to turn over internal audits, including one that covered three contracts valued at $1.4 billion that were awarded to Halliburton, a Texas-based oil services firm. It has also failed to produced a list of other companies that have obtained contracts without having to compete.
