    Default KBR Murdered US Soldiers, Wants Us to Pay For It

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/0...n_2436115.html
    In November, a jury found KBR, the military's largest contractor, guilty of negligence in the poisoning of a dozen soldiers, and ordered the company to pay $85 million in damages. Jurors found KBR knew both of the presence and toxicity of the chemical. Other lawsuits against KBR are pending.

    KBR, however, says taxpayers should be on the hook for the verdict, as well as more than $15 million the company has spent in its failed legal defense, according to court documents and attorneys involved with the case.
    Chutzpah, thy name is KBR.

    We're already on the hook. They'll just start charging the Pentagon $100,000/ ft. of whatever it is that they install in our name instead of the usual $80,000 / ft.

    Why not? We ended up being on the hook for all of GM's failed strategies.
