Halliburton sold "war heads" to John Q. Public.....? No recourse.....WTF
Arms maker under fire:
As David Hudak sits in a New Mexico jail accused of illegally purchasing and stockpiling warheads, his defense attorney takes aim at Halliburton Corp., which he said induced his client to buy the devices.


By Dan Shingler
Tribune Reporter

Canadian David Hudak sits in a New Mexico jail cell, accused of stockpiling U.S.-made missile warheads.

Federal prosecutors moved in on Hudak quickly after an informant alerted them to his activities last summer.

But his defense attorney wonders why the U.S. company that sold Hudak the devices has not been pursued with the same zeal, especially since prosecutors contend that the sale was illegal.

Hudak's attorney, Bob Gorence, said Hudak was induced to purchase the items by Halliburton Corp. - the major U.S. conglomerate once headed by Vice President Dick Cheney."

1. Clear violation.....
""The company that sold these warheads to Mr. Hudak did so illegally, knowing they were doing it illegally, and conspired to conceal that fact," assistant U.S. Attorney Greg Wormuth said at an April 1 hearing. He said the matter would be pursued further at Hudak's trial.

A November 2002 prosecutor's motion also questioned the legality of the sale.

"It is also worth noting that some, if not all, of the warheads seized in Roswell were property of the United States and that the United States appears to have never consented to the sale, release or transfer of those warheads. The United States is continuing its investigation into the transfer of the seized warheads as well as other munitions," the motion reads."

3. Yeah...
...and remember that plutonium (or was it uranium) that they "lost" in Africa? Seems to me that these guys might be working for the interests of those that might hate Americans, and even want to kill us. Is this surprising? Is it shocking that a company Cheney still has close ties to would be supplying WMD to potential terrorists? Is GWB working for the Saudis? Is Cheney a friggin terrorist?
