If you ever had any doubt that one reason for going to war in Iraq was to
help boot Halliburton then this story from the

Post Chronicle might change your mind:

Pentagon Spied on Houston
Anti-Halliburton Activists

by Houston Global Awareness Jan 24, 2006

A Houston-based anti-Halliburton group was spied on by a top-secret
Pentagon counter-intelligence agency in 2004, according to a report in
Newsweek magazine.(1) The peaceful protest, organized by Houston Global
Awareness on June 29, 2004, was attended by approximately ten local peace
activists.

The protest involved handing out peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to
employees of giant military contractor Halliburton to draw attention to
allegations that the company over-charged for military food contracts in
Iraq.

A report in Newsweek this week reveals that the Pentagon’s Counter
Intelligence Field Activity (CIFA) filed a report on the Houston protest,
which took place outside Halliburton’s headquarters in Houston, Texas.

So terror comes in the shape of PB&J now? Don’t get me wrong, we need a
strong intelligence field at this point in our history. That means our
intelligence should be focused on terrorism and finding Osama. This is getting
ridiculous when we hear about the Pentagon pissing away this valuable resource
to spy on American citizens who want peace. Of course we have to protect
Cheney’s cash cow.
