Oorlog levert ook veel geld op, niet voor de gewone burger natuurlijk, maar voor de grote concerns die miljarden aan de oorlogvoering verdienen, anders zouden er geen oorlogen zijn. Zo simpel is het. Om zoveel mogelijk winst te maken zijn die concern zonder enige scrupules. De Washington Post bericht: 'Workers Allege Halliburton Knew Their Water Was Foul. Troops and civilians at a U.S. military base in Iraq were exposed to contaminated water last year, and employees for the responsible contractor, Halliburton Co., could not get their company to inform camp residents, according to interviews and internal company documents. Halliburton, the company formerly headed by Vice President Cheney, disputes the allegations about water problems at Camp Junction City, in Ramadi, even though they were made by its own employees and documented in company e-mails. "We exposed a base camp population (military and civilian) to a water source that was not treated," said a July 15, 2005, memo written by William Granger, the official for Halliburton's KBR subsidiary who was in charge of water quality in Iraq and Kuwait."The level of contamination was roughly 2x the normal contamination of untreated water from the Euphrates River," Granger wrote in one of several documents. The Associated Press obtained the documents from Senate Democrats who are holding a public inquiry into the allegations today.' Lees verder:
