If they are going to charge somebody with "negligent homicide" they better have a real good case.
They were tasked with building fast, cheap housing in a war zone! It's not going to be very easy to get companies to work for the military if they're going to be sued everytime a single mistake is made.
I don't mean to sound callous over the death of the soldier, because I'm not, but it was a war zone and I'm sure the work is not easy for anybody over there.
By the way, the assclown reporter wrapped up with "Good stuff!" Seriously.
“Good Stuff” - Rick Sanchez, CNN
No bias there! None whatsoever! Move along now!

Neither am I a cheerleader for KBR/Halliburton, but the good work they did far outstripped the bad at my base. In fact it was amazing to me that they’d constructed what essentially was a small town in the middle of nowhere. And they also ran the housing, commissaries, and infrastructure, all pretty darned weel in my estimation.
There were glitches, like when they ran the feed cable for our huge generator across and on top of a gravel parking lot, which caused the cable to be cut (losing all electricity) when the heavy fuel trucks came by to fill up the gen tanks (ironic that the generators would only fail when the refueling trucks were leaving the parking lot).
In the course of a few weeks the cable was replaced twice (and cut twice again when refueling took place), until Halliburton finally sent a labor crew to dig a trench and bury the cable 1 foot underground, which we’d suggested from the outset.
