KBR Serves Up Tainted Ice To Our Troops!

KBR the scandal ridden subsidiary of Halliburton, that would be Dick Cheney's former employer, has exposed our troops in Iraq to ice tainted with the remains of bodies and medical waste. Sound gross? Yup, and the lawsuit being brought againts them pulls no punches.

From ThinkProgress:

The lawsuit also accuses KBR of shipping ice in mortuary trucks that “still had traces of body fluids and putrefied remains in them when they were loaded with ice. This ice was served to U.S. forces.”

Eller also accuses KBR of failing to maintain a medical incinerator at Joint Base Balad, which has been confirmed by two surgeons in interviews with Military Times about the Balad burn pit. Instead, according to the lawsuit and the physicians, medical waste, such as needles, amputated body parts and bloody bandages were burned in the open-air pit.

“Wild dogs in the area raided the burn pit and carried off human remains,” the lawsuit states. “The wild dogs could be seen roaming the base with body parts in their mouths, to the great distress of the U.S. forces.”
