Well, Halliburton gets a lot of bad press. But if you look closely you see the real trouble maker is Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR) the evil subsidiary of Halliburton that is the construction equivalent of Wolfram and Hart.

The latest story of incomprehensible evil is in the LA Times, discussing KBR's activities in what appears to be white slavery, also known as human trafficking. Apparently a "subsidiary" of KBR has been using labor brokers in countries like Nepal who charge poor schmucks some ridiculous fee ostensibly to acquire them high-paying service jobs in Jordan. However, these unfortunate suckers find themselves dodging bullets in Iraq, working as "foreign contractors" for Halliburton and subject to kidnapping and execution. Ack.

I need to create my own subsidiary that commits crimes for me and allows me to avoid responsibility by blaming my out-of-control underling. I can then whip out all the old responsibility avoidance cliches like it's just a bunch of bad apples, or suggest I'm too busy to track the activities of my subordinates.
