>>>big bucks to whistle blowers disclosing US firms doing business with Iran in volition of UN sanctions<<<


So I'm sure it wasn't lost on you that Cheney's HAL had to be dragged kicking and screaming from Iran and still try to weasel their way back in?


"DUBAI, Jan 30 (Reuters) - Oilfield services company Halliburton Co (HAL.N: Quote, Profile, Research) has brushed aside claims the decision to set up a second headquarters in Dubai was aimed at evading U.S. sanctions to resume operations in Iran.

The Dubai move sparked controversy among U.S. politicians last March. Senator Frank Lautenberg at the time accused Halliburton of going "to extraordinary lengths in the past to do business with the terrorist government in Iran".

"The company's odd announcement this week certainly sets off alarm bells about its intention to do business with state sponsors of terrorism," he said in a statement at the time."
