  Halliburton is a corrupt giant that acts like an attached adjunct of the Bush Administration. We’ve apparently reached a corporatist form of regime whereby a cluster of big corporate cronies enrich themselves as close partners of a government in the pursuit of a long term political agenda.  They become a politically interested integral part of the regime rather than an outsider who is soley concerned with money. Fascist regimes often operate this way. Krupp and IG Farben seemed to operate within the Third Reich in this manner coming to symbolize the Reich itself and its goals and ideology rather than just functioning as disinterested outside businessmen interested only in short term bottom line. This goes well beyond the old military-industrial complex. It is quite unprecedented and signals a very frightening turn in our political culture. We have now entered the realm of fascist corporatism.

  The Halliburton/ White House relationship is well known, but this more detailed information is welcomed. Apparently though, the White House-Halliburton-Congress orgy, paid for by the tax payers will not end until Republican control of Congress is over. It can’t happen too soon for me.
