True.\n\nNew Orleans restoration has gone to Haliburton (Cheney).\nNo Child Left Behind Tutoring > Christian Churches\nEnvironmental affairs > Texas Oil (horrible truth)\n4 million dollars of higher education money has gone to a project to "prove that prayer works".\n\nThe list goes on.

It doesn't appear to be.  It's trading as an OTC stock - QUTEF.PK - last close (as of this answer).  It appears that they bought out SGI.  Looking at employment opportunities I get the impression that they don't really care that much about  their employees.  They don't give any information about benefits, work environment, etc.  Maybe it's a British thing.  Good luck.

Michael Moore, eh?\nWell done\n\n+YOU GOT THAT FROM EDCO GEO (IRELAND 8 GRADE BOOK).\nSee that's how true it is.\nBush just contradicts himself.

Halliburton is a privately owned company I believe.\n\nI stand corrected...here is a good link\n\nhttp://finance.yahoo.com/q/mh?s=HAL

Just watching a vet who is suing him for using his story without permission.  It shows him as antiwar even though he is a supporter of Bush and the war.  This guy lost his arms to the war.  Yeah, Moore is an idiot and hopefully this guy will profit from the other idiots who believe everything in Fahrenheit 911.

You can tell by the answers, that many NON military are trying to answer this question.  Like they THINK they know how we feel.  In fact, they don't....they just know what the biased news tells them. \n\nNo, the military does NOT blame Bush.  We can actually see what good is happening in Iraq.  We know what the news refuses to tell Americans.  However, the Iraqi's do need to step it up and take control.  They need to assert more pressure.  It all comes down to the majority of the troops believing in what they're doing.  Don't forget, this is a volunteer military and many of those serving in Iraq joined after 9/11 and knew what the risks were.  \n\nFor those that say the military can't speak out, you're very wrong.  They can and do.  For the idiot who said to watch 9/11, that's just what everyone needs to see....some biased propaganda so Michael Moore can make money off the fools who believe him.  It's been proved over and over and over that he lied and took what the troops said out of context.  Many filed charges against him for it.\n\nFor those of you who don't support the war and the troops, don't try to speak for us.  We can do that for ourselves.  We know what we believe in and we know what we're doing.

its no coincidence\n\neven if he is no longer in the oil industry...which I doubt...  I am sure he has his dirty little fingers in there somewhere...  he still has all his friends and cronies in the oil business that are making money hand over fist with these price increases.

Have you checked the stock price of Halliburton lately?\nIt just might validate the points you are making here..

America is calling for a complete investigation that Bush is avoiding at all cost. Haliburton, Carlyle, and the Bechtel corporation have profiteered trillions, not billions from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Bush has some explaining to do Lucy!!!

Well...look at who is the biggest sponsor of BBC News, for example. Shell. Nortel. It's probably only a matter of time before I see Halliburton get their bloody mitts in there too! I've seen Halliburton adverts on both FOX AND CNN...

Um...ok, I'm pretty knowledgeable about this stuff, but I don't know what a 'reverse merger' is in this context.  Normally this term is used when a private company merges with a public one.  But a pink sheet company isn't private, so I assume you mean that they will get the OTC listing from the dormant public shell company. Which company's shareholders are you concerned about?  Because, in any merger, there are two companies involved. In itself, there's nothing patently wrong with it, and getting the listing would normally be a good sign, if it's the right kind of listing.  But are we talking NASDAQ listing or just OTC?  I mean, OTC could still be Pink Sheets, right?  So it may not be beneficial.  I guess you really need to clarify some of this before I try to make sense out of it.  Which company do you own shares in?  What type of OTC listing are they getting?  etc.

look for Senator Waxman to look into this and other issues regarding military and defense contracts by spring 07\nThe republican controlled senate has only devoted 12 hours of testimony towards Haliburtons massive fraud this is totally unacceptable.\n\nChairwoman Susan Collins (R-Maine) has steadfastly refused to hold hearings on the issue in the more than two years since the start of the war in Iraq, despite — Collins says because of — multiple executive branch investigations of Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown and Root. \n\n“We should not be in our committee spineless,” Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) said in a recent interview. “We should go ahead and investigate this.” \n\nSince May 9, 2003, Lautenberg, a junior member of the panel, has sent five letters to Collins requesting hearings on various alleged misdeeds of KBR and Halliburton . \n\nIn his most recent letter on April 26, Lautenberg outlined several issues the committee could probe, including: \n\n• An April 2005 State Department report that found major cost overruns and “poor performance” by Halliburton on a $1.2 billion contract to repair Iraqi oil fields. \n\n• The Defense Department’s decision to override its own auditors when it decided in February not to withhold payments from Halliburton until questions about overcharges were answered. \n\n• Allegations by an Army Corps of Engineers whistleblower that Halliburton was unfairly and improperly awarded its no-bid contract with the U.S. government. \n\n• Findings by Pentagon auditors that Halliburton overcharged the government $61 million for gasoline imports in Iraq as well as $27.4 million for troops’ meals in Iraq. \n\n• Allegations that Halliburton employees received $6.3 million in kickbacks from Kuwaiti businessmen in exchange for subcontracting deals. \n\n• Allegations that KBR employees abandoned trucks, each costing $85,000, due to flat tires and other repairable problems.

Because he seeks the Michael Moore "truth"

He is a puppet for Halliburton (vice pres Dick Cheney's company) and the oil industry.  But he's actually doing a great job of it.  The price of Halliburton's shares have jumped from $20 to $80 in the last 3 years.  So he may look like an idiot, but he and the people behind him have become very wealthy. By looking stupid, people don't realize what he's really up to.  He wants the war to go on, and he wants oil prices to stay high - it is in his own personal interest.

This is what keeps everyone in line who was at least marginally involved.  A LOT of money has been made by those who were involved, first and foremost, and any "truth revelation" would automatically implicate all those contractors (everyone that makes weapons), corporations (airline bailout anyone?), and private owners ($9 billion on the WTC property deal?) that may have had anything to do with it.  Many others were also given promotions despite their negligence on 9/11 for simply going along with the official story, whether they "made it happen" or not.  \n\nMany others have profitted immensely from the resulting fear of terrorism and the wave of nationalism sentiment after the attacks.  Ask any pro-Bush pundit what their book deals are worth, vs the not-for-profit anti-Bush liberals (Michael Moore is an ass and a very big exception).  Ask Fox News what this has meant for their ratings and their advertising value.  A LOT of public personalities owe their very existence to the events of 9/11.  If this truth should be revealed, they would quickly become irrelevant or traitorous.\n\nWhat would it mean for politics?  Both parties would be like on a sinking ship, fingers would get pointed everywhere, and 3rd party candidates might actually suddenly have some pull for better or worse.  Both parties are enjoying their monopoly on political power and the truth would be most upsetting.\n\nWhat would the truth do for the morale of the American people?  Those that fully believed in our benevolent govnernment and have had their simple minds be the subject of propoganda control for years will suddenly wake up and become VERY angry.  These same sheep that the neo-conservatives have been counting on for support will become their most violent opposition.  Fringe groups on all sides will capitalize on this power vacuum created.  Civil war could indeed be a possibility.

You should have started buying Haliburton stocks when the Bush administration started their sales pitch on invading Iraq.  Those stocks have more than tripled in value since then.
