Good to see this, particularly in light of the recent activities by fellow war-profiteer Blackwater (who is told in this video in no uncertain terms by Lt. Col. Andrew Horne, a retired Iraq War vet--and potential Senate candidate in KY against the odious Mitch McConnell--that they "ought to leave" Iraq):

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - A 1967 visit to the University of Wisconsin-Madison by a recruiter from Dow Chemical Co., which made napalm, sparked a bloody clash between police and protesting students and galvanized anti-war sentiment on campus.

A new generation of student activists are summoning memories of the 40-year-old demonstration with their vows to demonstate Thursday against Halliburton, another company they see as profiteering from war.

Organizers expected anywhere from dozens to hundreds of students to turn out to protest the company's visit to an engineering career fair. They hope to discourage students from talking to Halliburton representatives.

Some planned to carry signs saying, "Curly, off campus!," a reference to the Dow Chemical representative who visited the school, William "Curly" Hendershot.

"We've decided that any war-profiteering recruiter stands in the tradition of Curly," said Chris Dols, a student and member of the Campus Antiwar Network, which is organizing the protest. "We're explicitly drawing the connection between the two."

And as all war profiteers do, they're pushing back by trying to trick the students, who aren't having any of their bullshit:

"We've come to expect this type of spectacle, just as we've come to expect that the allegations will yet again be misinformed and incorrect," Norcross said. "We continue to support individuals' right to voice their opinions, even when they have the facts completely wrong."

But the students say Halliburton's split with KBR does not absolve it of charges of unethical practices, which they say include overbilling the government, neglecting troops and bribing foreign officials.

Halliburton denies the allegations. KBR, formerly known as Kellogg, Brown & Root, agreed last year to pay $8 million to settle six-year-old claims that it overcharged the Army for construction and other support services in the Balkans.

This comes on the heels of increasing press scrutiny of Blackwater, an example of which can be found in this excellent NPR report found by our friend Ohdave:

NPR witnessed a similar scenario two years ago. A State Department convoy, protected by Blackwater, raced out of a compound. Guards immediately shot at the car killing an old man, his son and his daughter-in-law. Blackwater said the car was driving erratically. A U.S. military investigation concluded Blackwater had used excessive force. No one was prosecuted.
