Halliburton serves contaminated water to troops - whistleblower (HalliburtonWatch) 20 Sep 2005 "Outrage overflowed on Capitol Hill this summer when members of Congress learned that Halliburton's dining halls in Iraq had repeatedly served spoiled food to unsuspecting troops... But the outrage apparently doesn't end with spoiled food. Former KBR employees and water quality specialists, Ben Carter and Ken May, told HalliburtonWatch that KBR knowingly exposes troops and civilians to contaminated water from Iraq's Euphrates River. One internal KBR email provided to HalliburtonWatch says that, for 'possibly a year,' the level of contamination at one camp was two times the normal level for untreated water."

Flashback: Halliburton gets $72 million bonus for work in Iraq 10 May 2005 The U.S. Army said on Tuesday it had awarded $72 million in bonuses to Halliburton Co. for logistics work in Iraq but had not decided whether to give the Texas company bonuses for disputed dining services to troops.

2. Nothing to see here

The contract never stated it had to be pure water. If it had, they would have needed a $200 million bonus to accomplish that

3. Why should this surprise us? This is a happy little war like the Spanish

American war.

I'd be surprised if Halliburton _isn't_ serving the troops tinned dog and cat food.

Hoo HAA! Maggots taste good Drill Sergeant!

6. If bin Laden contaminated the troops' water, it wld be called 'terrorism.'

When Halliburton contaminates the troops' water, Bush's media whores won't even mention it.
