Army to Pay Halliburton Unit Most Costs Disputed by Audit
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/022706R.shtml
"The Army said in response to questions on Friday that questionable business practices by the subsidiary, Kellogg Brown & Root, had in some cases driven up the company's costs. But in the haste and peril of war, it had largely done as well as could be expected, the Army said, and aside from a few penalties, the government was compelled to reimburse the company for its costs."
"Under the type of contract awarded to the company, "the contractor is not required to perform perfectly to be entitled to reimbursement," (emphasis added by Vox) said Rhonda James, a spokeswoman for the southwestern division of the United States Army Corps of Engineers, based in Dallas, where the contract is administered."
Gotta love those No-Bid contracts.
