So because Halliburton and the military says there is no merit to it there is no merit to it at all?
It's not worth investigating the reports and checking to make sure things are up to code?
This is the same company that overcharged the military on fuel, that has back ordered and not shipped out needed materials (all the while taking the money), that has been surrounded in controversey left and right, and has on numerous occassions come clean and admitted wrong doing.
Yet, we're supposed to believe them when they say everything is up to code?
I am of the belief that perhaps we should see if this report has merit. Let's see the medical reports on the cases of diarrehea, "stomach flu,and diseases.
What is wrong with checking out these reports to make sure Halliburton is doing their job correctly?
Or perhaps we should just continue to buy into what they say and fuck making sure our men are getting the best we can give them?
I didn't highlight this either:
"We exposed a base camp population (military and civilian) to a water source that was not treated," said a July 15, 2005,
memo by William Granger, the official for Halliburton's KBR subsidiary who was in charge of water quality in Iraq and Kuwait.
"The level of contamination was roughly 2x the normal contamination of untreated water from the Euphrates River," Granger wrote in one of several documents.
But the whole point of my posting the article was to show that maybe, there is merit and the GOP should allow it to be investigated.
