[lbo-talk] the case against KBR

[Seth L. Sanders]

Just looked through Dan Briody's The Halliburton Agenda, and am 
convinced that they're as good an example of crony capitalism as any.

Question: given that a lot of big government contractors (c.f. Ross 
Perot's "self-made" success) made their fortunes by greasing 
connections, are there specific reasons why KBR (if they can be 
described as even having an identity separate from Halliburton--can 
they?) is worse than e.g. Bechtel? I assume Nomi Prins goes into this 
in her forthcoming work...
