Since it is Halliburton's accounting that is being investigated, it seems
far more may be involved than just a Halliburton contractor being charged
much more for importing oil from Kuwait than others were paying. That is
the story that Halliburton is spreading, but that would not justify an
audit of Halliburton's books.

Obviously far more is involved when the Pentagon found it necessary to
initiate the audit and Bush to comment that any overcharges will be
recovered. There may well be a major scandal involved here.
