Halliburton hired for storm cleanup

The Navy has hired Houston-based Halliburton Co. to restore electric power, repair roofs and remove debris at three naval facilities in Mississippi damaged by Hurricane Katrina.

Halliburton subsidiary KBR will also perform damage assessments at other naval installations in New Orleans as soon as it is safe to do so.

KBR was assigned the work under a "construction capabilities" contract awarded in 2004 after a competitive bidding process. The company is not involved in the Army Corps of Engineers' effort to repair New Orleans' levees

Sickening. Sorry, but this combined with the stories of no police intervention with looters until they get to the rich districts -- and then suddenly SWAT and sniper teams start appearing from nowhere -- makes me just feel disgusted.

You just know that billions of dollars are going to be made in profit from this disaster going to the same rich white guys that will be totally unaffected if a disaster hit them.

I'm not partcularly a fan of Franklin Graham, but heard him suggest something interesting that made sense. Round up those male members of these families who've been affected who are able to work. Pay them $20-30 an hour cleaning up and rebuilding. The government and insurance companies are going to pay for it anyway. Why not pay those who are currently jobless and homeless?

Thats a very good idea. make these people feel that they are needed and let them prove that they can do something for themselves.
