Halliburton's High-Power Ties to U.S. Government

Alex Chadwick and

NPR's Alex Chadwick speaks with NPR's John Burnett about Vice President Dick Cheney's connections with oil services conglomerate Halliburton. The giant Texas-based corporation landed many lucrative Iraq reconstruction contracts, which many consider a problem because Cheney is Halliburton's former CEO. Burnett reports that the company's high-profile federal government connections have existed since World War II.
