Students to protest Halliburton visit
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')oday's protesters say Halliburton, an oil services company once run by Vice President Dick Cheney, should not be allowed on campus because it has profited from the Iraq war with lucrative military contracts.
Melissa Norcross, a Halliburton spokeswoman, said a former subsidiary, KBR, handled military contracts and the two became separate companies earlier this year. Halliburton is coming to Madison to look for entry-level employees, she said.
"We've come to expect this type of spectacle, just as we've come to expect that the allegations will yet again be misinformed and incorrect," Norcross said. "We continue to support individuals' right to voice their opinions, even when they have the facts completely wrong."
