Report: Untreated water at U.S. base in Iraq
Halliburton denies contamination of supply to American soliders, civilians
“They brushed it under the carpet,†Carter said. “I told everyone, ‘Don’t take showers, use bottled water.â€
"A July 14, 2005, memo showed that Halliburton’s public relations department knew of the problem."
“I don’t want to turn it into a big issue right now,†staff member Jennifer Dellinger wrote in the memo, “but if we end up getting some media calls I want to make sure we have all the facts so we are ready to respond.â€
"Halliburton’s performance in Iraq has been criticized in a number of military audits, and congressional Democrats have contended that the Bush administration has favored the company with noncompetitive contracts."
There is no end to the corruption and incompetence in the Bush Administration, is there??!!
Halliburton again. Still.
