BUSH COVERS UP SHADY HALLIBURTON DEALS

The lead of this Washington Post story really says it all:

The Bush administration is withholding information from U.N.-sanctioned auditors examining more than $1 billion in contracts awarded to Halliburton Co. and other companies in Iraq without competitive bidding, the head of the international auditing board said Thursday.

It's $1.4 billion, actually, but who's counting? Certainly not those in control of your tax dollars.
