| The portion of the hearings I saw had three former sub-contractors telling what they witnessed. And some of that would make your blood boil. Such as KBR mangers rippiing off the US taxpayers by requiring each GI to sign in and out of each room in a USO-lke facilty to help the GIs get a little R&R, even to and from the bathroom. Then KBR would turn in the hugely inflated numbers to get paid because their contract calls for so much taxpayer money for each GI "helped." Also stealing ice for the GIs to sell to the Iraqis.
Also, the three testified that if any one of their workers complained, they were threatend to be locked outside the secure area to let the Iraqis deal with them.
So, it's not just the Iraqis that are ripping us off, it's the broken, pork-laden system that the current administration allowed to contact out to VP Dick Cheney's former company with no competition or bids. But what do we expect from the borrow and spend methods of those in charge the past few years.
Wait until that bill comes for taxpayer payment after the current administration goes back to private business, it will be comparable to the high fuel prices.  |
