Halliburton, the Kellogg, Brown, and Root Subsidiary is embroiled in a scandal involving bribery in Nigeria. Two British employees of the company were just indicted in a US district court in Texas of violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Their actions took place at the time when former Vice President Dick Cheney was CEO of Halliburton. Yesterday we heard part 1 of our in-depth interview with Pratap Chatterjee about his new book, “Halliburton’s Army: How a Well-Connected Texas Oil Company Revolutionized the Way America Makes War.” In his book, Chatterjee details the history of how Halliburton, and it’s parent company KBR, were catapulted into the world of Washington power politics, going all the way back to World War II. According to Chatterjee, the new way in which wars are fought, freeing up an all-volunteer army from menial tasks, ensures that companies like Halliburton will continue to profit from war. Today we play you the second and final part of our interview.

GUEST: Pratap Chatterjee, Managing Editor of Corpwatch, author of “Halliburton’s Army: How a Well-Connected Texas Oil Company Revolutionized the Way America Makes War.”
