The problem is still larger than just this one instance

Even if it happened exactly as you remember it, the problem IMO still isn't Halliburton, per se. It is that corporations are able to say, "That corporation that is entirely owned and controlled by this corporation really isn't the same entity at all. Nope, that's not us." Any time a nation passes a law saying, "You can't do that," corporate lawyers challenge them to define "you". No matter who the "you" is, the one doing it is never the one the law applies to.

Implicitly condoning stupidity since 2001.

They are slime.

Absolutly right about the larger issue. These espousers of "personal responsibility" all seek plausible deniability.
