Halliburton accused of supplying rotten food to U.S. forces

Halliburton and KBR--the companies that were controlled by Dick Cheney until he became vice president --are facing a mountain of lawsuits over their past and present activities in Iraq and elsewhere.

08 Dec 2008 U.S military contractor KBR, a former subsidiary of Halliburton, is facing a number of lawsuits over its activities in Iraq, and elsewhere. KBR is the largest contractor for the United States Army and a top-ten contractor for the U.S. Department of Defense.

In one class-action suit Joshua Eller, a civilian who worked for the U.S. Air Force in 2006 at the Balad air force base northeast of Baghdad, alleges KBR 'knowingly and intentionally supplied to U.S. forces and other individuals food that was expired, spoiled, rotten, or that may have been contaminated with shrapnel, or other materials'.
