Halliburton hired for storm cleanup
The Navy has hired Houston-based Halliburton Co. to restore electric power, repair roofs and remove debris at three naval facilities in Mississippi damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Halliburton subsidiary KBR will also perform damage assessments at other naval installations in New Orleans as soon as it is safe to do so.
Uh oh. Here come the conspiracy theories. Perfect timing huh? While I have no doubt that this Halliburton subsidiary won a bidding process for this job fair and square, it’ll be mere seconds before the Left uses this as yet another reason to further hammer Bush.
Shhh…don’t tell Kos, Atrios, the neurotics at HuffPo, or (gulp) anyone at the Democratic Underground.
