Twenty eight Democratic Senators, led by Byron Dorgan, are calling for
a formal Department of Defense investigation into what they described as "alarming" reports of fraudulent, wasteful and abusive practices by Halliburton in providing food to U.S. troops in Iraq.
In May, despite concerns by the Army's own auditors about billing practices, the firm received a $72.2 million bonus for its work in Iraq. The bonus was the largest ever received by the firm. Halliburton has billed the government more than $10.5 billion to date under a contract to provide aid for the military in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere.

Your tax dollars at work, Bush supporters.
But hey - at least your money isn't being spent on "handouts" or "entitlements," right?
