Great article by Douglas Jehl

I have a warm spot for Jehl since a nitpic of an article co-authored by him is my one blogging hit so far. The point is this article is that anonymous sources say the White House is refusing to release the NSA intercepts because they name US corporations which did business with countries under sanctions including China and perhaps Libya and Cuba.

I wonder if one of those companies happens to Halliburton ?

No reason to think so and it is irresponsible to speculate.
