| Posted By: lint Posted On: Jan 22, 2006 Views: 579 | Haliburton by far just read this A-P Enterprise: U-S troops exposed to contaminated water in Iraq, Halliburton documents say WASHINGTON Halliburton employees say they told the defense contractor that contaminated water was being used by U-S troops and civilians at a U-S military base in Iraq. But the employees say they couldn't get Halliburton to inform camp residents of the problem. The contaminated water came to light in internal company documents The Associated Press obtained from Senate Democrats who are holding a public inquiry tomorrow. One of the memos was written by the official for Halliburton's K-B-R subsidiary, which was in charge of water quality in Iraq and Kuwait. He writes -- quote -- "we exposed a base camp population to a water source that was not treated." Bottled water was used for drinking, but a water expert says the tainted water was used for everything else, including making coffee. Someone who worked at the base in Ramadi says he was among many people who got sick. A Halliburton spokeswoman says the company did not find any contaminated water nor medical evidence of illnesses. http://www.whotv.com/Global/story.asp?S=4394502&nav=2HAB |

It's ok, I know you most likely don't, because if you did, you would not label it evil. This company isn't wonderful or anything of the sort, but it is certainly not evil. The new paper article... it was not in Haliburton's legal power to disclose that information (sue me). I mean, they could have, sure. Just like you could tell off your boss because he/she is doing something illegal. Chances are, you'd probably get fired. And no, they could not fire Haliburton's boss because his name is Uncle Sam. Conclusion: Know what the company's line of work is, at the minimum, then speak. |
