1. It's a pity most of America is busy working itself to death |
|
for the smallest possible salary and most meager health plan "that the market will bear". .

Halliburton (KBR) is a disgusting group of cut-throat scunbags.
They were using the same trucks to transport ice & dead bodies.

3. These ex-KBR employees.. |
|
estimated waste fraud and abuse at anywhere between 40% and 80%.
And they were under threat of being "let loose" on the streets of Baghdad if they opened their mouths about the waste fraud and abuse they witnessed.

5. Let's spend some more money in Iraq |
|
Otherwise, the dollars that have already been spent will look like a waste of money.

they would threaten to put employees out on the streets of iraq by themselves if they blew the whistle.....i'd say that's a murder threat

7. I sent emails to Sen. B Nelson of Fl & McCain in 2004 about this many times! |
|
Sen. Bill Nelson wrote back that he didn't see anything wrong with the practices and so did McCain! I am a 60 year-old Grandmother that knew about the wrong doings of these corporate thieves! Come on! The MSM was a part of this too but they are owned by the same Corporations and that is why I don't like the 1996 Communications Agreement that then Pres. B. Clinton signed! Look what they have done to our country!!!!!!!! SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!

8. The no-bid contractors like Halliburton & Blackwater are accountable to no one... |
|
...with the exception of the American people.
Gratefully, there are congressmen who are delving into the claims of the brave and patriotic whistle-blowers.
