the kidnapped American is from Miss., and works for Kellog Brown Root, a subsidiary of Halliburton.
In a sense, not suprising. It was a fuel convoy, and they have had the contract, if memory serves, bringing fuel from Kuwait at an exhorbitant price.
I do not wish the man ought but well, but somehow given all that has been invovled with this whole Irq adventure, it is both ironic and almost appropriate that the American who has been kidnapped works for Halliburton.
