Protesters Gather Outside Halliburton Shareholder Meeting

HeadlineMay 18, 2005

In Houston, protesters are gathering today outside Halliburton’s annual shareholder’s meeting to protest what they view as the company’s war profiteering. In addition the group CorpWatch is publishing an Alternative Annual Report on the company — which was once headed by Vice President Dick Cheney. According to CorpWatch Halliburton has pulled in over $7 billion in revenue for its recent work in Iraq–twice what it made in Iraq in the previous year. Halliburton is currently under investigation by the FBI and Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition the Justice Department is investigating Halliburton’s work in Nigeria, Iran, Iraq, and the Balkans.
