FBI Interviews Halliburton Whistleblower

WASHINGTON - An Army whistleblower who raised concerns that the Pentagon (news - web sites) improperly awarded business to Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites)'s former company has been interviewed extensively by the FBI (news - web sites) and is gathering documents to help agents.

Army Corps of Engineers contract officer Bunnatine Greenhouse, whose allegations about the oil services company Halliburton surfaced in the final weeks of the presidential campaign, was interviewed for a full day last week by the FBI and Army criminal investigators, her lawyer said Wednesday.

"They questioned her about all of her concerns, and they asked questions regarding potential involvement of people at higher-level positions," attorney Michael Kohn said in an interview.

WASHINGTON - The Pentagon (news - web sites) extended a Halliburton Co. contract for 11 months beyond its expiration despite warnings that the company was "out of control" in its work providing troop support in the Balkans, government memos showed.

"There is little or no incentive for the contractor to reduce or keep cost down," senior Army contracting officer Bunnatine Greenhouse wrote her bosses in January 2002 after a review of Halliburton's performance.

Nearly three years later, Greenhouse wrote her superior this month that it was inappropriate for the government to extend the $2 billion contract for Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites)'s former company.

Greenhouse complained to Lt. Gen. Carl Strock, commander of the Army Corps of Engineers, that the Corps should not have halted plans to let companies compete for a successor Balkans contract. She is the agency's top contracting officer.

and our government security jerks sat on their hands until this woman spoke up NOW? Shame on this country for letting this crap going on in the first place. I remember a very good special on PBS that went into this contracts over two years ago.
