Halliburton gets $72 million bonus for Iraq work

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Army said today it had awarded $72 million in bonuses to Halliburton Co. for logistics work in Iraq but had not decided whether to give the Texas company bonuses for disputed dining services to troops.

Gee, I wonder how much of that money will go to the widows and children of all the troops who were slain in Iraq protecting their sorry asses??
