KBR being sued for putting soldiers (in Iraq) at risk in 2003.
Today those soldiers are dying.

To refresh your memory KBR was a subsidiary of Halliburton.

Halliburton is the oil services company that does mostly work for the government. Their CEO was Dick Cheney.

Cheney earned tens of millions as CEO. When he became vice president he maintained millions in stock and also received deferred salary while he was Vice President. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/09/26/politics/main575356.shtml

As a result Halliburton received BILLIONS worth of no bid contracts in Iraq.

Halliburton is an extremely shady company. They have been in trouble over and over and over for unethical behavior.

They overcharged the US government.
