Video: Haliburton Gives Troops Dangerous Water

Sen Byron Dorgan
Video: Haliburton Delivers US Troops Dangerous Water. Senator Byron Dorgan held a press conference in the US Senate to discuss a recent report by the Inspector General - a report that found that US contractors had been delivering contaminated water to US troops in Iraq. The report cites KBR, a subsidiary of Haliburton
Senator Byron Dorgan: "So the Pentagon is saying, well, Senator Dorgan and those who disclosing this are inaccurate. Haliburton is saying it's inaccurate. Pentagon's saying it's inaccurate. Everything is just fine. Here's what the Inspector General says, 'Things aren't fine. The water was not treated as it was supposed to have been treated. Contaminated to the troops. Some troops got sick.' In some cases this water that was twice as contaminated as raw water from the Euphrates River was flowing as non-potable water to these military bases.
"When we got the information from the Haliburton Corporation whistle-blowers, Haliburton denied it and so too did America's military. Now we know the Inspector General says, 'no, no that's exactly what was happening.'"
