90% Substandard Work
How do we treat a company that does such poor work installing power lines in new building for the troops in Iraq that one inspector says 90% of the work did not meet building codes? We'll see, perhaps, after that inspector testifies today in Congress. But complaints against Houston based KBR go way back...as do allegations that the only reason they got the Iraq contract in the first place is their political friendship with the Bush family. Several American troops have died from poorly installed electrical lines, though KBR denies the allegations they did substandard work. So how do we treat a company that does poor work? Do we really support the troops? We'll see.
[UPDATE: According to a new NY Times story, the company was also awarded tens of millions in bonuses for it's electrical work!]
