Halliburton Subsidiary Gave Iraq Soldiers Dirty Water
From a Washington Post article:
"U.S. soldiers at a military base in Iraq were provided with treated but untested wastewater for nearly two years by KBR, the giant government contractor, and may have suffered health problems as a result, according to a report released yesterday by the Pentagon's inspector general."

For those not knowing, KBR (Kellog-Brown & Root) is a subsidiary of Halliburton, a company best known for: 1. being run by Dick Cheney back in the day, 2. ripping off the American people for services provided in Iraq and 3. a gang rape scandal surrounding some of their Iraq-based workers.
FYI: the video above is a bonus scene from the documentary Iraq for Sale discussing the 'dirty water' scandal when it first broke in 2006. (I was on it back then too!)
