11. Thanks Bluebear!

It's good to be here. The news on television is so depressing and the commentary is even more depressing. Nice to know some people still have their minds left...we are not all pod people yet.

16. I wished I could have been there.

I protested the last two meeting here in Houston, was looking forward to this years.


After last year's protest where the Houston police became the Halliburton police I am not surprised that the location was changed.


I still can believe how rough the Houston police got, Hallliburton owned them last year.


Good going OK, ya'll showed them that they can run but not hide.:yourock: :applause: :kick:

Halliburton is an artificial person who deserves an artificial prison term.

And its former CEO deserves a real one.

[lies and propaganda]

20. raw story article

DUNCAN, Okla. - Sixteen people protesting Halliburton Co.'s role as a military contractor were arrested Wednesday outside a building where shareholders discussed spinning off the subsidiary that provides meals, clean laundry and other services to U.S. troops in
Iraq.

One man was accused of vandalism for tearing up a plastic fence holding back protesters, and the rest were accused of trespassing as they left an enclosure and headed toward the meeting.

About 100 people protested outside the meeting. A masked man beat on a large empty jug and protesters chanted, "The whole world is watching," and "Shame on you," while police made the arrests. A designated area had been set up for the protest, and police had told protesters not to leave that area.

One of those arrested was wearing a Dick Cheney mask. The vice president formerly headed Halliburton, which has drawn criticism for its big government contracts, some awarded without competitive bidding. Its KBR unit provides support services for troops stationed in the Middle East.

Protesters carried signs such as "Bush Lied," and "Record Corrupt Blood Soaked Profits." Oklahoma Veterans for Peace lined up 37 pairs of combat boots to represent Oklahoma soldiers killed in Iraq.

23. That despicable Cheney-Halliburton

Bravo to the protesters. The Halliburton rape of our tax dollars was as much a reason for this war of lies as the old. Bastards!
