Update: Balls in the Air

Here's a link to the original chart.

Apparently Treasury is looking into whether Halliburton broke the law by doing business with Iran (from the New Jersey Star-Ledger):

WASHINGTON -- The Treasury Department is raising new questions about whether Halliburton, the oil services giant once headed by Vice President Dick Cheney, violated the federal law barring U.S. companies from doing business with Iran.

In a notice to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Halliburton disclosed that Treasury's Office of Foreign Asset Control last month reopened a 2001 inquiry that centered on the legality of the business dealings between Iran and a Halliburton subsidiary incorporated in the Cayman Islands.

Go get 'em, G-Men!
