"Halliburton is a fine company, and I'm pleased that I was associated with the company."
– Vice President Cheney, 8/7/2002
Contractopoly is the new interactive game that lets you win billions in sweetheart deals from the Bush Administration as you rebuild Iraq.
Collect information about the top private contractors in Iraq as you advance around the game board. Learn how Halliburton's political connections earned it billions of dollars. Find out the latest about the Administration's attempts to turn sovereignty over to the Iraqi people. Journey with Iraqi-exile Ahmed Chalabi as he flees Jordan to escape prison, passes fake intelligence to the Pentagon, and trades secrets with Iran.
"We put more hours of research and hard work into producing Contractopoly than the Administration did in planning for post-war Iraq," said Robert O. Boorstin, Senior Vice President for National Security. "Then again, that's not saying much."
Here are some of the exciting things that you will be able to experience:
