HOUSTON (Reuters) - A former Halliburton Co. worker was sentenced on Friday to 15 months in prison after pleading guilty in federal court in Illinois to taking more than $110,000 in kickbacks from an Iraqi company in 2004.
Glenn Allen Powell, who worked as a subcontracts administrator for Halliburton's KBR unit, will also pay $91,000 in restitution for directing a U.S. government contract worth $609,000 to an unnamed company in 2004 to renovate a warehouse, according to Sharon Paul, spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Illinois.
The contract was part of KBR's ongoing work for the Pentagon to provide services and support to U.S. troops under the LOGCAP contracts in Iraq. Those contracts and the company's work on the Iraqi oil infrastructure has yielded more than $10 billion in revenues for Halliburton.
Another former KBR employee, Jeff Alex Mazon, was indicted in March for devising a scheme to defraud the U.S. military of more than $3.5 million under a contract to supply fuel tankers for operations in Kuwait.

Dick Cheney continues to receive millions from Halliburton. We're not supposed to call it a "salary" because Cheney is the V.P. so now the money is called an "honorarium."
The Bush gang is fleecing our country for everything they can get. Will the crimes continue? What do you think?
