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?

Halliburton is a big company and operates in a lot of countries. Nonetheless, it is an US company owned by USians and led by USians. The company's decision-makers are USians. Having a subsidiary or a small office in some country or controlling some company which was bought off from some non-USian doesn't make it non-USian.
