Halliburton Moving HQ To Dubai

Posted by kdawson on from the might-as-well dept.

theodp writes "Much-maligned defense contractor Halliburton is moving its corporate headquarters from Houston to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Dubai's friendly tax laws will add to Halliburton's bottom line. Last year the company earned $2.3B in profits. Sen. Patrick Leahy called the company's move 'corporate greed at its worst.' Halliburton, once headed by VP Dick Cheney, has been awarded contracts valued at an estimated $25.7B for its work in Iraq."

    All I know is I saw Kenny alive, then a bunch of Haliburton guys walked into the room, now Kenny's dead.

    What is this, Slashdot or Daily Kos?

    I realize that bashing the administration and anybody who's linked with them in any way is the "in thing" to do (thank you, Jon Stewart), but there are zillions of sites out there for posting and discussing this sort of thing. It's not tech, it's not fantasy, it's plain old generic business being posted for plain old political reasons. So why is it here?
