Lulz. Halliburton sold equipment to Iran (let's drop the nuclear bit here, and keep in mind that Iran is under an embargo, and you're not supposed to sell ANYTHING to them.) Slashdot reports on the public news not reporting on it, and who's the enemy of America here? Halliburton, for selling equipment to our enemy? The media for not exposing Halliburton as the traitors they are?
No, it's slashdot, because the Republicans have such a short memory they can't recall when slashdo
Do you have any idea of how big that company is? In how many countries it's incorporated? And you want to blame all on one tiny part - if teh allegation turns out to be actually true?
True - I run software by Halliburton but frequently and correctly curse the name of Macromedia instead when it fails to work. They do good in some areas - but corruption is corruption and should be a prosecuted criminal offence whether you are buying or selling government favours.

So, you're saying I should turn 'em in to the government, rather than beseech Peter Norton for assistance??
