Iraq Contracting: Vice President's Chief of Staff Received Early Briefing on Halliburton Contracts
Rep. Waxman discloses that a senior Defense Department official briefed I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, the Vice President's chief of staff, and other senior Administration officials in October 2002 about the Department's proposal to award lucrative Iraq contracts to Halliburton. This new information appears to contradict the Vice President's repeated assertions that he and his staff were not informed prior to the award of the Halliburton contracts.
Letter to the Vice President:

All of this information is well and good but it does not get good coverage in the news and no momentum by the public gets built up so that an investigation has to made by the republican controlled congress.
Stumble It!
