Senate hearing on foreign subsidiaries of U.S. companies dealing with Iran
Halliburton, the notorious U.S. energy company, sold key nuclear-reactor components to a private Iranian oil company called Oriental Oil Kish as recently as 2005, using offshore subsidiaries to circumvent U.S. sanctions. This clip shows Democratic Senators Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) and Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) grilling Sherry Williams, V.P. and Corporate Secretary for Halliburton about the company's deplorable ethics and questionable practices.
The result is that one of the most protected people on the planet has caught a
disease that has cured more than 1 million people worldwide, more than 200,000
of them in the United States.
