It’s Time To Debar KBR From Federal Contracts

Many are calling for a move to debar and from doing business with the Federal Government.

“After all, this is a company that makes most of its profits on the back of U.S. taxpayers. And under federal contracting law, the government is required to contract only with “responsible” contractors.” Says Charlie Cray over at the Huffington Post. (Click HERE) The government can ban firms in cases of fraud, antitrust violations, bribery, tax evasion or for actions that reflect “a lack of business integrity or business honesty,” according to federal rules. I do believe that Halliburton and KBR meet those criteria.

In the past year or so KBR has been under serious scrutiny and investigation for their lack of performance on the LOGCAP contract in the Middle East. There have been numerous Senate and Congressional hearings detailing what I fear is only the tip of the iceberg of Fraud, Waste and Abuse. They are under investigation for the wrongful deaths of US soldiers that have resulted in civil suits and will hopefully end in criminal charges and jail time. They are accused of delivering contaminated water and food. Purposefully exposing US troops and their own employees to dangerous chemicals. There have been a large number of lawsuits filed by their own employees for various assaults, rapes, deaths and other injuries. All as KBR hides behind the Defense Base Act. Not to mention the charges, fines and jail time for KBR Exec for the Nigerian Bribery Scheme.

It’s time for the Federal Government including Obama to step up and put a stop to this nonsense. It’s hard for us to back anything Obama wants to do while Companies like Halliburton and KBR continue to rape the taxpayer. It has got to stop.
