Washington ? Halliburton executives ordered a big-screen television and 10 large tubs of tacos, chicken wings and cheese sticks delivered to Iraq for last year’s Super Bowl, then billed U.S. taxpayers for their party, according to a lawsuit unsealed Friday.

The Houston-based company also defrauded the government by double- and triple-billing for Internet, food and gym services to soldiers, according to the lawsuit by a former employee for KBR, the Halliburton subsidiary that ran dining halls for soldiers in Iraq.

“The administration is not enforcing the laws against fraud when it comes to contractors in Iraq,” said Alan Grayson, the attorney who filed the suit. “When it comes to seeing that the law is executed, the Bush administration is a no-show.”

Halliburton vehemently denied the allegations of fraud, which were filed under the False Claims Act. Designed to prevent war profiteering, such lawsuits allow citizens to sue on behalf of the government and recover a portion of any damages.

The company did not deny ordering the television and the food; it set up snack buffets and special screenings at military bases throughout Iraq for the 2005 Super Bowl, which began at 2:30 a.m. local time. But KBR noted that its contract allowed the company to provide recreation and morale-boosting services for its own employees, as well as American soldiers.

“The claims included in this lawsuit clearly demonstrate a complete misinterpretation of facts as well as a lack of understanding of KBR’s contractual agreements with its customer, the U.S. Army,” said Melissa Norcross, a Halliburton spokeswoman.

The accusations in the lawsuit are the latest involving Halliburton’s controversial contract to feed and house American soldiers stationed in Iraq.
