Hey, guess who was hired to cleanup New Orleans? Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

That's right, our favorite company!

The Navy has hired Houston-based Halliburton Co. to restore electric power, repair roofs and remove debris at three naval facilities in Mississippi damaged by Hurricane Katrina.

Halliburton subsidiary KBR will also perform damage assessments at other naval installations in New Orleans as soon as it is safe to do so.

KBR was assigned the work under a "construction capabilities" contract awarded in 2004 after a competitive bidding process. The company is not involved in the Army Corps of Engineers' effort to repair New Orleans' levees.


I wonder how they got the job .

How come they always make good business from others suffering, no matter where it happens or how?

And why do they win all the other contractors?

What's even funnier is that all three of these facilities that they're going to repair are on the BRAC chopping block.

According to Reuters Bush is going to use the New Orleans disaster to re-unite divided America. I guess this is how. Sorta like how Baron Frankenstein united the pepple of Transylvannia.

Even if what Lefty said is true, which remains to be verified, you just don't do anything that may smell like a rat. This is just common sense.
