Professor Roy Anderson meets Halliburton
or rather, as chairman of the Investment Approvals Board at the MOD, Professor Anderson wants the Halliburton subsidiary KBR to be awarded the £4 billion contract to build Britain's most powerful warships ever.

"As well as fears of swingeing job losses in Fife, critics of Halliburton believe it is inappropriate to allow the US company to carry out such a high-profile government project."Independent 1,000 jobs at Rosyth shipyard at Fife are likely to be lost.

Halliburton, over which Dick Cheney presided before becoming vice president to George W Bush, and which is making inconceivable amounts of money out of the situation in Iraq, is being investigated in the US for alleged accounting fraud involving millions of dollars. The MOD had its fingers burnt with Halliburton in 2002.

Roy Anderson was the chief architect of the FMD policies that cost the country billions, cost millions of healthy animals their lives, and cost the rural community its faith in the sanity of the government.

He was until recently Chair of the Scientific Advisory Council (see front page story) before being made "Chief Scientific Officer" at the Ministry of Defence.

As Christopher Booker wrote in July this year: "Quite how the ability to simulate Aids epidemics on a computer, or to mastermind the slaughter of millions of healthy animals, will qualify Prof Anderson to advise the Ministry of Defence on weapons of mass destruction is not immediately clear."
