    We know that there is doping in any sort of athletics that
    involve significant sums of money.

    What else could you pedantically inform us of? That people
    cheat on their taxes? Speed on the freeway? Drive drunk?
    That most panhandlers are substance abusers? That
    Halliburton gets awarded no-bid contracts because their
    former CEO is the vice-president of the federal government?

    You post this stuff like it's a revelation or
    something. Get over yourself. We know already. take
    care and have a nice day,

  3. So, tell us all where the data in the Le Journal du
    Dimanche article has been published before. Please post a
    list of the 126 authorised items that US Postal brought to
    the 2000 Tour.

    Thanks and have a great day!

    Nice posting Henry.

    Just a note of disapproval re: Halliburton. Apparently it
    was OK for them to have been awarded the very same sort of
    contract by the Clinton Administration in Bosnia. So perhaps
    you could explain to us what the VP had to do with it in
    that case?

    Dumbass -

    Awards of no-bid contracts when there are multiple
    vendors willing and capable of fulfilling them should be
    forbidden in government. Cronyism and corruption are a
    cancer on any society.

    If this society strives to be as 'free' as it claims, we
    should include free markets when it comes to awarding
    taxpayer dollars to private companies. That means open
    bidding on goods and services which are not proprietary. And
    it doesn't matter what administration it is, Clinton or
    Bush, Democrat or Republican.

    it in that case?

    Halliburton subsidiary KB&R won a large contract to
    supply the military in Bosnia (known as Logistics Civil
    Augmentation Program, or LOGCAP) in a competitive bidding
    situation. There were problems with overbilling and the
    GAO was critical of the Army for not doing enough to
    track the costs of those contracts. That criticism was
    one of the reasons why KB&R lost a second big contract to
    Dyncorp in '97.

    The problem with what's happened this time around is that
    Halliburton got huge (in the multi- billions) contracts
    to do much more than supply the military, including
    repair/maintenance of oil field equipment, putting out
    fires and repair of other infrastructure items. These
    were (or nearly) all no-bid contracts. The imbalance
    toward Halliburton was bad enough that many other
    companies that have been involved in that kind of work
    began to complain - including Bechtel. Cheney still gets
    paid by Halliburton (though it is deferred). He does not
    seem to have severed himself from his former company as
    much as it would seem prudent to be if one wanted to
    avoid the appearance of impropriety.

    From an article in Time (sorry for not linking, it's
    subscription only):

    "Cheney's relationship with Halliburton has been
    nothing but trouble since he left the company in 2000.
    Both he and the company say they have no ongoing
    connections. But TIME has obtained an internal Pentagon
    e-mail sent by an Army Corps of Engineers
    official‹whose name was blacked out by the
    Pentagon‹that raises questions about Cheney's arm's-
    length policy toward his old employer. Dated March 5,
    2003, the e-mail says "action" on a multibillion-dollar
    Halliburton contract was "coordinated" with Cheney's
    office. The e-mail says Douglas Feith, a high-ranking
    Pentagon hawk, got the "authority to execute RIO," or
    Restore Iraqi Oil, from his boss, who is Deputy Defense
    Secretary Paul Wolfowitz. RIO is one of several large
    contracts the U.S. awarded to Halliburton last year.

    "The e-mail says Feith approved arrangements for the
    contract "contingent on informing WH [White House]
    tomorrow. We anticipate no issues since action has been
    coordinated w VP's [Vice President's] office." Three days
    later, the Army Corps of Engineers gave Halliburton the
    contract, without seeking other bids."

    It should also be noted that for some of the "no bid
