The report said KBR took corrective steps and was providing adequate water quality by November 2006. But military units at the two sites they controlled were still failing to perform required quality control tests and maintain appropriate records by that time.
My, how gracefully they managed to insert the VPs name.

While dirty water is unacceptable in any case the AP’s title tries to lead people to think it was drinking water.
Wow...they got it in there in the first sentence.
Way to go AP...you scummy media vermin.
Our medic once treated our ROPU water while were were staged in the South Pacific. Anyone want to know what happens when your water has way to many parts per million of chlorine? Let's just say we ran out of Portalet capacity. LOL
But since it's KBR, let's just go ahead and make sensationalist headlines so we can zing ol' Cheney's name in there and make it look like this was all his fault.
The KBR sites were Camp Ar Ramadi, Camp Q-West and Camp Victory.
I was at Camp Victory in 2004. I don't remember anything like this. Must have been a blip on the screen?
I've been at places where we use Baghdad city water for these things (like where I am now). How safe can that be, I wonder?
The media needs to suck it up.
I heard the brief newstory on the radio yesterday, and the woman reporting it also said the whole ‘Once run by Dick Cheney’. It was so ridiculously out of place relative to the story that I was dangerously rofl while driving.
