Bush/Cheney Crony War Profiteer, KBR, Involved in Human Trafficking

Bush and Cheney's war profiteering corporate cronies have an abominable record not only defrauding the United States and its taxpayers, but a reprehensible record of human rights violations.  And KBR, until recently a part of Halliburton, whose former CEO was VP Dick Cheney who was still collecting deferred salary from Halliburton while VP, which the mainstream media successfully ignored.
 
Now KBR, appallingly still a Pentagon contractor, is embroiled in a human trafficking law suit.
 
The Washington Post reported: "A Washington law firm filed a lawsuit yesterday against KBR, one of the largest U.S. contractors in Iraq, alleging that the company and its Jordanian subcontractor engaged in the human trafficking of Nepali workers.

"Agnieszka Fryszman, a partner at Cohen, Milstein, Hausfeld & Toll, said 13 Nepali men, between the ages of 18 and 27, were recruited in Nepal to work as kitchen staff in hotels and restaurants in Amman, Jordan. But once the men arrived in Jordan, their passports were seized and they were told they were being sent to a military facility in Iraq, Fryszman said.

"As the men were driven in cars to Iraq, they were stopped by insurgents. Twelve were kidnapped and later executed, Fryszman said. The thirteenth man survived and worked in a warehouse in Iraq for 15 months before returning to Nepal.

"The lawsuit, filed in a federal court in California on behalf of the workers' families and the survivor, claims that the trafficking scheme was engineered by KBR and its Jordanian subcontractor, Daoud & Partners, according to Fryszman."

Torture as policy and human trafficking by Bush crony war profiteers just the tip of the criminal iceburg with the Bushite regime and impeachment is still off the table?
