KBR/Halliburton Immune from Prosecution for Cancer Exposure in Iraq
Monday, September 13, 2010

Lt. COl. Jim Gentry died from exposure to toxic chemicals in Iraq Former Halliburton subsidiary KBR got quite the deal from the Bush administration when it agreed to help rebuild Iraq’s infrastructure following the 2003 invasion. Not only was it paid millions of dollars for the work, but it was also indemnified from having to pay any American soldiers for making them sick from cancer-causing chemicals located at the sites that KBR worked on.

But any settlement involving the Guardsmen won’t be paid by KBR, thanks to the little-known indemnity provision of its contract. Instead, American taxpayers will be on the hook for the damages. In addition, Secretary of the Army John McHugh has made it clear that “The specific indemnification provisions associated with this contract and task order remain classified.”

2. Colonel David (Hack) Hackworth wrote about it in Soldiers For Truth

when the contracts were signed by KBR..he also wrote about the shots the soldiers were getting before going to Iraq and the soldiers were getting very sick from them.

Oh and he also posted about the dried blood and dirt that was being served to our soldiers in their food by KBR!

I know because I posted about it thousands of times in arguments with Bushbots!

Most people were not paying attention then........
