Either blown out of proportion because it's nothing new..... or because they are not blatantly overcharging for every little thing (which from what I hear, they are). Halliburton prewar was nowhere near what it is today.

No, blow out of proportion as in...they were given a very small no-bid contract. As the needs in Iraq grew we tried using other companies but many companies simply could not deliver. We needed the services and someone had to fill it. Halliburton's roll slowly grew out of the incompetence of other companies.
