Halliburton(KBR) again


Back in 2005 the Army agreed to pay Halliburton's subsidiary KBR $2 billion for work that nobody could prove was done. Now KBR has been let off the hook for shoddy construction practices in Iraq that were responsible for the electrocution of a Special Forces staff sergeant. The water pump wasn't grounded, but it was found that KBR was not liable for this. In today's world of uncompromised greed this is not a crime. If we can deny people health care, bail out giant financial firms but ignore retired seniors whose pensions were wiped out, then the death of a mere staff sergeant is in consequential. Now,perhaps if he were an officer and a republican???????
