Wait, what?????

Yep, KBR, formerly owned by Halliburton, Dick Cheney's "former" company, is under investigation AGAIN. Again again.

Harris said the military initially did not tell her that her son was electrocuted, and then told her he died "with a small electrical appliance in the shower." Only later did she learn the truth, she said.

Jeebus f Christ.

You're missing the Reboob point Maru -- we should be more concerned as to whether KBR made a healthy PROFIT or not! The health of employees or consumers/customers is irrelevant when you turn things over to the 'private sector' (read: profit sector) -- 'health' is considered an 'external' cost that you try to transfer to the individual or the government so that you can maximize your profit! If it's cheaper to hire PR companies (and/or setup Neo-con 'think'-tanks/astro-turf foundations,etc)to improve the PERCEPTION of a product/practice than it is to actually IMPROVE a product/practice and pay lawsuits, then you emphasize that route.
