The following came in an E from MoJo and was a short post on their blog.
Bribery Charges for KBR
It's from an article on the 21st, a quiet saturday news day.
Buried at the bottom of page A-6 in today's Times is news that Halliburton spin-off KBR and its subcontractor Eagle Global Logistics built bribery charges into the cost of delivering basic supplies to U.S. troops in Baghdad.
This is the article referanced, Bribery Network to Bloat War Costs Is Alleged
The guilty plea by Mr. Smoot is the second by an Eagle executive in the case. But the papers describing his plea indicate that investigators believe at least one more Eagle employee and five KBR employees, all so far unnamed, were also involved. Mr. Smoot alone admitted to delivering bribes, called gratuities in the legalistic language of the court papers, to the employees of KBR on some 90 occasions between 2002 and 2005.
Now, when will this Country finally Wake Up and realize the Criminal Element that are running things and mindlessly Killing our Military Personal and Innocents of other Countries are doing so for just pure, or unpure, Wealth and Power!
A spokeswoman for KBR, Heather L. Browne, said in a statement yesterday that the company “in no way condones this behavior.”
Ya 'right' Heather, just like everything else that's been going on, we're going to believe you and the others using the same lame statements!
The thing is folks, these clowns, running this show, are so freakin Incompitant, that it speaks volumes of the rest of us as to allowing what's been going on to continue unabated, oh we're just such an intelligent bunch!!
