Halliburton, GE, Conoco Accused of Terrorist Ties

New York City Comptroller William C. Thompson, Jr. has called for a “review” of three U.S. companies that “ conduct business with terrorist-linked companies,” naming General Electric Co., ConocoPhillips and Halliburton Company. Thompson has submitted shareholder resolutions on behalf of the New York City Police and Fire Department Pension Funds to the companies, calling for a vote to establish a Board of Directors’ committee to review the corporation’s operations with reference to “potential financial and reputational risks.”

“If we are trying to eradicate terrorism, we must ensure that companies in our portfolio are not using off-shore subsidiaries to legally evade United States sanctions against terrorist-sponsoring states,” Thompson said.

You mean just because a country harbors terrorists and produces weapons of mass destruction, we can’t do business with them? Say, what kind of Amerricun are you?
