Yahoo! News - Halliburton Tells Military Auditors It Saved Money
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Vice President Dick Cheney's former firm Halliburton said on Thursday it had told Pentagon auditors the company had saved the U.S. government money in Iraq and strongly rejected price gouging allegations.

Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg Brown and Root was awarded a no-bid contract in March to rebuild Iraq's oil industry, including importing fuel to alleviate dire shortages in the oil-rich nation.

"We believe our response proves KBR delivered fuel to Iraq at the best value, the best price and the best terms," said Randy Harl, KBR's president and chief executive.

HAHAHA! I knew they would deny it, I didn't think they would actually claim that they saved us money.
