No, profit over people is their motto.

When did Haliburton become so evil? LOL! It's a company, big deal. It's the only company big enough to do what needs to be done in Iraq, big deal. 1,000s of lawsuits are filed everyday, big deal.

Oh, and the article says nothing about the "slaves" working for KBR, it does say that they were to work in hotels and restuarants which, unfortunately, Haliburton doesn't operate, lol.

Get over your obsessive Bush/Cheney hatred...it's really not healthy.

KBR remained a part of Halliburton for 44 years until it officially separated in April 2007 to become a stand-alone company. Check your facts and save the drama for your mama!

It sounds like it would be OK to use slaves in Iraq as long as they aren't g*y slaves.

I'm not surprised at anything Halliburton or other contractors do in Iraq. I feel for those people. I really do (Iraqis). Here we have US troops all over the place, US contractors (mercenaries goping around scaring and shooting people, and then blaming it on 'suicide bombers', georbush sitting on his behind counting oil receipts, even Iraqis being used for menial jobs while Halliburton brings in outsiders instead of tryng to help- those people to salvage THEIR land and THEIR natural resources. I'll be glad when the US leaves that country. All we have succeeded in is witnessing the inevitable.,the unnecessary deaths of tens of thousands of troops and the destruction of Iraq and its people. Despite the continuing propoganda that the Iraqis "want us there" its doubtful. The greater majority of them know or were related to one or more of over a million other Iraqis who have died as a result of bush's illegal and deadly invasion and continuing occupation.

we are guilty of so many reprehensible acts.

but we await Karma.

God bless us all.

Not really. Since 2000, the entire U.S. population has been divided into slaves and masters.

Have you ever heard of the word "alleged"?

Do you know that Nancy Pelosi is actively involved in the "slave trade" by using illegal aliens with no rights and refusing to let her workers in her vinyards unionize?
