KBR is in trouble again
I hope that KBR has made their money. I suspect that it is going to be very hard for them to explain what happened. There is no excuse for the electrocution of our soldiers. There is simply no excuse. I wonder when Congress is going to hold hearings. I wonder when there is going to be a trial because this is criminal.

From CNN.com (I added emphasis):
Improper wiring by military contractor KBR at U.S. bases in Iraq led to electrical shocks about once every three days for nearly two years, according to Defense Department documents obtained by CNN.
Houston-based KBR, the military contractor responsible for maintaining and providing services at most of U.S. bases across Iraq, had “systemic failures” in its electrical work that threatened the life, health and safety of people inside the bases, according to the documents, from a violation report obtained by CNN.
There were 231 electrical shocks of personnel in Iraq from September 2006 through July 2008 in facilities maintained by KBR, the documents state.
KBR has been at the center of controversy surrounding the electrocution of soldiers on bases in Iraq. Much of the controversy has surrounded the electrocution of Sgt. Ryan Maseth, a highly decorated 24-year old Green Beret from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. (more… )
