KRB strikes again and again?

Question

So many soldiers electrocuted in their showers. Weird details:

http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/05/28/soldier.electrocutions/index.html

The Army refused to answer CNN's questions about the case, citing pending litigation by Maseth's family.

Maseth's mother says she pressed the military for answers, eventually uncovering more details about her son's electrocution. The surging current left burn marks across his body, even singeing his hair. Army reports show that he probably suffered a long, painful death.

Fellow soldiers had to break down the door to help, said Patrick Cavanaugh, an attorney for Maseth's parents.

"When they kicked down the door, they smelled burning hair, and they rushed over, saw Sgt. Maseth lying there unconscious, and one of the rescuers himself was shocked electrically and sustained a fairly good jolt because the water and the pipes were still electrified," Cavanaugh said.

Army documents obtained by CNN show that U.S.-paid contractor Kellogg, Brown and Root (KBR) inspected the building and found serious electrical problems a full 11 months before Maseth was electrocuted.

KBR noted "several safety issues concerning the improper grounding of electrical devices." But KBR's contract did not cover "fixing potential hazards." It covered repairing items only after they broke down.

If you hired a contractor, they discovered a potentially killing hazard in your house, wouldn't you expect them to take the next step and either fix it or report to someone who would?

And they say the left doesn't respect the troops.

Answer 1

Do not expect too many replies. This whole issue is currently being kept off the screen for most Americans. What KRB (Bush Sr.'s company) has done in Iraq is criminal, and the charges if they are ever brought include fraud of the taxpayer, embezzlement (look to Cheney's Caymen account)

and death of our soldiers through contaminated drinking water and now electrocution.

Yes, your last comment is on the mark. 'And they say the left disrespects the troops.'

If the soldiers really knew what kind of meat they were to these contractors, it would lead to mutiny on a level unrivaled since roman times.

Answer 2

and this was a no bid contract by bush and d**k so it proves they committed manslaughter at the very lest because of gross negligence which I'm pretty sure is a lot worse than lying about oral s*x.

Answer 3

this is what comes of privatizing the war...  this and the fat banks accounts of the bush/cheney cronies.
