Scandal: Halliburton Saving On Chlorine Provides Contaminated Water To The Troops In IRAQ

This is hard to believe, but a former Halliburton/KBR water purification specialist called Ben Carter recently stepped forward to discuss discovering Halliburton was providing dangerously contaminated water to troops in IRAQ.

He did measurements of water storage facilities after finding asome form of "larve" in a toilet "hooch", and found the Chlorine content of the water to be nil.

Talking about your contamination risk. History in the making!

Another fine example of corporate abuse of troops... Yuck.

Somehow Iraqi's manage to get their hands on 5 thousand gallons of Chlorine and use it for bombs to kill other Iraqi's, instead of helping Iraqi's get safe water.



Now thats a scandal!

???

I fail to see what this has to do with Halliburton providing unsafe water to American troops... Are you implying that this is NOT a scandal?

For the matter you´ve just mentioned, great, start a new thread.

Talking about off topic.

Scandal, and Chlorine in Iraq is the link between the two.

You brought both up, so it's on topic IMO.

Sorry if you don't like the correlation, but there it is.

makeitso it is clear well kind of

by cutting back they make more money as they can produce more
and in irony the same chemical that they are cutting back oin is being used by insurgents,

kind of like they are chucking some to the side so it can be used against their country men and iraqis
