The CBC offers us this wonderful headline:
Military flipflops, will pay Halliburton fully
WASHINGTON - The Pentagon has hastily reversed a decision to partially withhold payments to Halliburton, the biggest U.S. contractor in Iraq.
On Tuesday, the U.S armed forces administration announced it would hold back 15 per cent of payment on future bills to the group, which used to be headed by U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney.
Hours later, the Pentagon did an about-face with no reasons given and said it would pay Halliburton the full amount owing.

The key point here:
The group's shares had fallen almost 4 per cent on the initial announcement that the Pentagon was withholding some payments.
