War profiteer Halliburton's PR flack tells yet another lie. As reported in today's Wall Street Journal (sub. req'd.):

Wendy Hall, a Halliburton spokeswoman, declined to comment specifically on the demonstration [against Halliburton war profiteering], but said the decision to go to war wasn't made by Halliburton, adding that, "We live in a country where people have fought so that others may peacefully demonstrate."

Wendy Hall, you are so very wrong.

The decision to go to war was indeed made by Halliburton, in the form of a certain famously hawkish Dick Cheney who served as Halliburton's CEO in 2000, the same year he campaigned to become the vice president.

It is precisely this confluence that makes every word, every action, and every policy out of the White House suspect whenever the scent of oil or energy services or Iraqi reconstruction is in the air.

If you want to, here's how you can reach Wendy Hall to set her straight with the facts.
