Snip: <By Jason Leopold -- World News Trust

Scandal-plagued Halliburton -- the oil services company once headed by Vice President Cheney -- sold an Iranian oil development company key components for a nuclear reactor, say Halliburton sources with intimate knowledge into both companies’ business dealings.

Halliburton was secretly working at the time with one of Iran’s top nuclear program officials on natural gas related projects and sold the components in April to the official's oil development company, the sources said.

Just last week, a National Security Council report said Iran was a decade away from acquiring a nuclear bomb. That time frame could arguably have been significantly longer if Halliburton, whose miltary unit just reported a 284 percent increase in its second quarter profits due to its Iraq reconstruction contracts, was not actively providing the Iranian government with the means to build a nuclear weapon.

With Iran's new hardline government now firmly in place, Iranian officials have rounded up relatives and close business associates of Iran's former President and defeated mullah presidential candidate Hashemi Rafsanjani, alleging the men were involved in widespread corruption of Iran's oil industry, specifically tied to the country's business dealings with Halliburton. >

1. Well, I know I'm shocked and appalled.

Oh, who am I kidding? :eyes:

There's a special place in h@ll for everyone associated with Halliburton. This is exactly what they want to happen. A confrontation leading to more war profits.

:grr:

5. I remember hearing a good while back

that Valerie Plame's group Brewster Jennings were keeping tabs on Haliburton and they were told to stop doing dealings with Iran. Do you think this is what they were doing?

6. The article says Halliburton sold parts to an Iranian Oil Dev. Co.

There was probably a lot of oil (including equipment to drill/process oil) involved, but I'd be willing to bet that arms and weapons (including nuclear) components played a major role, as well. If they're dealing with a large Iranian company, aren't they really dealing with the Iranian government? What's a front company between business buddies? :eyes:

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Brewster Jennings had their eyes on all of this, no.

7. yes, I remember something about that . . .

. . . Ms. Plame very clearly got too close to something the NeoCons were up to.

I believe this is one of the many reason's why they targeted Brewster Jennings. The Wilson angle was just an excuse so nobody looks into this.
