Halliburton stiffed the military

And you're surprised again.

Pentagon audit of Halliburton, the oil services company once run by US Vice President Dick Cheney, has found it overcharged for fuel it brought into Iraq from Kuwait.

Senior defence officials said the company may have overcharged the army by as much as $61 million for fuel in Iraq.
