I refuse to give CNN the hits.

If this company did do shoddy work that resulted in the deaths of our folks, then they should be up on charges. I don’t see how what company it is makes any difference.

If they were negligent and it resulted in death - they should be charged with negligent homicide. What is so confusing about that?

BE suspicious. IF they did it, yes, they deserve to be investigated. But this stinks of libs going after Cheney and HB deep pockets to me. At least they can cause them to rack up amazing legal costs. They have always hated Haliburton and Cheney, too.

I mean, really, they cannot be doing it because they passionately want to protect our soldiers....

It’s one thing to allow a negligence lawsuit, and another altogether to bring criminal charges against the company. Prosecutors typically reserve criminal indictments against companies for companies with widespread criminal activities—companies that are essentially “criminal organizations.” An indictment can bring down a company, and it’s inappropriate if it’s just in response to an isolated incident.

Agreed.... but

I wish i had confidence that the decision to prosecute will be made independent of politics. If would be grossly unfair if this were prosecuted to punish KBR for doing business with the government in Iraq.

It sounds like a grandstanding Dem lawyer to me.

If there was really gross negligence, rather than honest mistakes, I agree with you.
