Sources: Contractor for military (KBR/Halliburton) committed SERIOUS VIOLATIONS

[Bluebear]

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A contractor providing services to the U.S. military in Iraq and Afghanistan has committed serious violations of its contract, mainly by conducting inadequate inspections of electrical wiring and grounding at American bases, according to Pentagon sources.

The Pentagon findings on Houston, Texas-based KBR (Halliburton) stem from the widely publicized death of Sgt. Ryan Maseth, a highly decorated 24-year-old Green Beret from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Maseth was electrocuted while taking a shower at his base in Baghdad.

His January 2 death was just one of many deaths now believed to be linked to shoddy electrical work done at U.S. bases, managed by U.S. contractors, according to Pentagon sources...

In KBR's case, it means that the contractor's inspections and efforts to ensure electrical safety for troops have been unacceptable, and must be significantly improved, Pentagon sources told CNN.

3. I wonder what you have to do to be guilty of treason in the US. Or rape for that

matter. Evidently, the first requirement to be found guilty is not to be operating in Iraq, either as an individual or a corporation.
