Halliburton challenged for Army contracts

I tend to agree with the defense analyst. Believe me, we have our weaknesses, but all in all we do alright. It's going to be interesting to see someone else have it.

Loren Thompson, a defense analyst at the Lexington Institute, disagrees: “Bundling these contracts isn’t going to eliminate the controversy. It will actually increase it.”

Thompson said it’s a “near certainty” that both KBR and IAP would win something, but added that “coordinating such complex activities and teams could make KBR’s performance look like a case study in sound management.”
