Thirty-nine Halliburton workers have been killed in Iraq and two are
unaccounted for. But last Friday, 250 Americans lined up outside the
Houston Hilton to apply to work for the company's KBR subsidiary in Iraq.

Some wore suits and ties, others T-shirts and jeans at this hiring
session, one of four being held in Houston. Only half a dozen were women.

Many could not find work in the US, some wanted to help the government
fight terrorism, and still others were looking for a way to boost their
financial standing.
