Halliburton's Army
What Next for Private Military Contractors?
Event
Blackwater is changing its name to "Xe". Halliburton has sold off its KBR division. President Obama is pledging to crack down on the use of contractors by the military. Where does the future for private military contractors lie? Join us March 10th as we discuss these issues with Pratap Chatterjee, the author of the new book Halliburton's Army: How a Well-Connected Texas Oil Company Revolutionized the Way America Makes War, joined by Janine Wedel and Michael A. Cohen of the New America Foundation.
