They're busted again!

The latest is that they've been labelling all information in their contracts and filings that would show how they've been scamming their government "business proprietary" so they can avoid oversight.

The special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction found that Halliburton's Kellogg, Brown & Root Services routinely marked all information it gave to the government as proprietary, whether it was or not. The government promises not to disclose proprietary data so a company's most valuable information is not divulged to its competitors.

By marking all information proprietary — including such normally releasable data as labor rates — the company abused federal regulations, the report says.

In effect, Kellogg, Brown & Root turned the regulations "into a mechanism to prevent the government from releasing normally transparent information, thus potentially hindering competition and oversight."

If you ask me that is their proprietary business model and it explains why they're profitable. Their model is screw the military, screw the US, screw the soldiers, screw the taxpayers, profit above all else. I say let's get a rope and deal with these war profiteers the old fashioned way.
