U.S. Justice sues KBR for improper costs in Iraq | Reuters

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Washington, D.C., alleged that KBR knowingly included impermissible costs for private armed security in billings to the U.S. Army covering the 2003-2006 time period, the department said.

KBR has been the U.S. military's largest private contractor in Iraq and Afghanistan. It has been criticized for cost overruns in Iraq, and lawmakers in Congress last month questioned the Army's continued use of KBR for logistics work.

The contract at issue in the lawsuit provided for logistical support, such as food services, transportation, laundry and mail, for military operations in Iraq. The lawsuit involved the company and 33 KBR subcontractors.

My favorite KBR fraud is their 'sailboat fuel' scheme.

If the tea partiers want to protest something ACTUALLY wasteful, I'll proudly stand beside them with posterboard signs that read

"KBR, you Knotzi Fashists!"

I'm serious.

Not sure who it was on this board who said that there is nothing we can do as Americans in court because of the contract.

Might've been BF...not sure...

Glad to see the justice department going after these A-holez. Lets get our $$ BACK!
