WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. military has signed on Halliburton to do nearly $5 billion in new work in IRAQ under a giant logistics contract that has so far earned the Texas-based firm $9.1 billion, the Army said on Wednesday.
U.S. Senate critics of Halliburton were quick to denounce the new deal.
"At this point, why don't we just hand Halliburton the keys to the U.S. Treasury and tell them to turn off the lights when they are done," Democratic Senator Frank Lautenberg said in a statement.
