KBR seeks to blame Army for death of its own drivers
In a strange twist to a lawsuit filed against Halliburton and its subsidiary, Kellogg Brown & Root, the company has named the US Army and Iraqi insurgents responsible for the deaths and injuries to the firm's truck drivers in Iraq.

Families of the dead and injured drivers accused Halliburton and KBR of sending their relatives into combat zones in 2004 knowing they would be attacked and possibly killed.

Halliburton and KBR's lawyers say they won't force the Army to defend itself in court, but are employing a Texas law that lets juries consider whether other parties bear some responsibilities for victims' injuries.

I'm sure they will get a lot of money from Iraqi insurgents.
