Is Halliburton guilty of Iraqi gas gouging?: "According to a study released on Wednesday by Democratic Reps. Henry Waxman and John Dingell, each gallon of gas sold in Iraq has cost American taxpayers $1.59, and possibly as much as $1.70. In the rest of the Middle East, gas costs about half that amount; even in Toledo, Ohio, gasoline's cheaper than it is in Baghdad.
Why is getting gasoline to oil-rich Iraq costing Americans so much money? The congressmen have a one-word, obvious answer: Halliburton."
Can't read the article unless you subscribe. But the NY Times and Newsday had articles on it as well which are still free. All I got to say is war profiteering is nothing new, and nothing is more wasteful than war.
