Biting The Hand That Takes No-Bid Reconstruction Contracts

US Army to Rebid Halliburton Contracts and the ensuing MeFi thread.

[Update: Halliburton may not rebid on contracts that it never bid on in the first place since they were awarded no-bid. Poor Halliburton, not willing to scrabble over a mere $13 billion in rebuilding money. Said Dave Lesar, CEO of Halliburton, "I'm not sure we're going to rebid if it's hacked into too many pieces in Iraq. If we do choose to rebid, we're going to jack the margins up significantly," said Lesar, whose comments to an analysts' conference in New York were broadcast on the Internet." Un-fucking-believable!]
