U.S. Army demotes critic of no-bid contract in Iraq

"A top U.S. Army contracting official who criticized a large, noncompetitive Iraq contract with Halliburton was demoted for what the army called a poor job performance......

Her lawyer, Michael Kohn, called the action "obvious reprisal" for the strong objections she raised in 2003 to a series of corps decisions involving the Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown & Root, which has garnered more than $10 billion for work in Iraq and Afghanistan."

Don't ask, Don't tell: It isn't about being gay, it's about criticizing Halliburton.

The news from the Army, and our government regarding Iraq just continues to get worse. With every new day, there's a new revelation of mismanagement, or outright fraud being perpetrated on the American people.
