Dick Cheney's Former Company Exposed Our Troops To Contaminated Water
Halliburton, the company once led by Darth Vader (Dick Cheney) exposed troops and civilians at a U.S. military base in Iraq to contaminated water.
Employees at Halliburton were unsuccessful in getting their company to inform camp residents.
William Granger, an official for Halliburtor's KBR subsidiary that was in charge of water quality in Iraq and Kuwait, wrote in one particular document: "The level of contamination was roughly 2x the normal contamination of untreated water from the Euphrates River."
One water expert says he informed company officials that they would have to tell the military about the problem, and was told to keep his mouth shut.
According to a July 14, 2005 memo, Halliburtion's Public Relations Department knew about the contamination as well, but "didn't want to make a big issue" of it.
(To all the neo-cons: knowingly exposing our troops to contaminated water is supporting them how?)
