Cheney's company 'overcharged army by €56m

US Vice President Dick Cheney’s former company may have overcharged the US Army by as much as €55.7m for petrol in Iraq, Pentagon auditors have found.

The firm, Halliburton, did not profit from the possible overcharges, officials said. The problem was that Halliburton may have paid a subcontractor too much for the petrol in the first place.
