U.S. State Department documents are revealed showing that Richard Jones, U.S. ambassador to Kuwait, intervened in December of 2003 to ensure that Halliburton, the oil services company once led by Vice President Dick Cheney, retained a Kuwaiti business as a subcontractor to deliver fuel to Iraq. "My ethics will not allow me to direct KBR to go sole source to a contractor when I know there are other potential sources that can provide the fuel to the people in Iraq," Army Corps of Engineers contracting officer Mary Robertson wrote an official of KBR. |
