Canadian charges Halliburton affiliates with fraud
SANTA FE, Oct. 22 —" A Canadian counterterrorism expert who was acquitted of stockpiling armor-piercing missiles has sued companies affiliated with Halliburton, saying their fraud led to his imprisonment, according to court papers obtained Friday.

The lawsuit contends that Jet Research Center, a division of Halliburton Energy Services and others conspired to sell thousands of U.S. military warheads to Hudak and others. The suit contends the sales to the private sector were not permissible under the rules by which the companies acquired the munitions.

The lawsuit contends the companies were obligated to destroy the munitions but found it more profitable to sell them instead."

2. If memory serves...
A few years ago they were about to hit this Canadian with charges of staying in the US way too long.

The reason he overextended his stay? He was in American jail waiting and waiting to be brought up on charges.
