The protesters, coordinated by the Dallas Peace Center, wanted to draw attention to the war in Iraq and the profits they believe huge corporations such as Halliburton, a major provider of oil and gas products and services, are making from the war.

Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown and Root runs food lines, washes laundry, delivers mail, builds bases and performs other duties in Iraq. KBR also provides Iraq with gasoline. Halliburton holds U.S. government contracts in Iraq valued at $9 billion.

The company is facing allegations that it is overcharging the government. The U.S. Department of Justice and Department of Defense are investigating the fuel charges.

Halliburton officials said the company supports the troops in Iraq. The company has denied the claims of overcharging.

snip to the end:

............Protestors plan to meet outside of Halliburton offices - on Belt Line Road near Webb Chapel -- from noon to 2 p.m. every Friday throughout the summer.
