| Dick Cheney and his clique initiated the invasion and occupation of Iraq to create a trough of federal money for his cronies to stick their snouts in. |
| Pentagon investigators linked faulty KBR wiring to the electrocution of four soldiers intent on relaxation. One soldier died taking a shower and another in a swimming pool.
[A]n electrical engineer hired by the Army ... reported finding that 90 percent of KBR’s wiring work in Iraq was not done safely. Some 70,000 buildings where troops lived and worked were not up to code, according to the engineer, who told a Congressional hearing of “some of the most hazardous, worst-quality work I have ever inspected.” The electrical engineer found most wirers were not experienced in the British code and many were third-country nationals with no electrical training at all. Far from suffering for its shoddy military contracting in Iraq, Congressional investigators have found that KBR Inc. [run so lucratively by former Vice President Dick Cheney] was awarded $83 million in performance bonuses. Source: "KBR Does It Again - NY Times - May 23, 2009" |
