Halliburton Co., the energy services giant and controversial defense
contractor, said Sunday it is opening a new corporate headquarters in
Dubai in the Middle East.
The change from Houston to the United Arab Emirates by the world's
second largest oil-field services provider was announced by Chief
Executive Dave Lesar at an energy conference in neighboring Bahrain.
"The Eastern Hemisphere is a ket that is more heavily weighted
toward oil exploration and production opportunities, and growing our
business here will bring more balance to Halliburton's overall
portfolio," Lesar said in a statement.
The announcement comes amid a major overhaul at Halliburton, which is
spinning off its defense-contracting subsidiary, KBR, into a separate
company.
Halliburton has been dogged by criticism that it overbilled taxpayers
in a multibillion contract to feed and house U.S. soldiers in Iraq.
Last month, federal investigators alleged Halliburton was responsible
for $2.7 billion of the $10 billion in contractor waste and
overcharging in Iraq. The company has denied any wrongdoing.

You know it. How long will Cheney be out of office before the family
moves to Dubai to take a new position? Especially after they rig
things so they don't even have to testify to anyone in the US.
