I had heard this rumor a couple of days ago and thought, no, this cannot be! They haven’t even rescued the victims of this catastrophe and KBR is already profiteering? Someone help me here please before I go through the roof.
Read the details WaPo story
“Jan Davis, a spokeswoman for the Naval Facilities Engineering Command, said yesterday that KBR would receive $12 million for work at the Naval Air Station at Pascagoula, Miss., the Naval Station at Gulfport, Miss., and Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. KBR will receive $4.6 million for work at two smaller Navy facilities in New Orleans and others in the South.”
Another no bid contract for Cheney? No wonder we haven’t heard anything from him. He has been too busy counting the money he has been making. There needs to be a huge outrage. There needs to be bids for to repair the damage. KBR is still raping our government funds over in Iraq. Will we allow them to continue this raping here?
Is this even legal? I am asking I really don’t know.
Halliburton Watch had this story on 9/1 — they’re a good site to watch for all corruption Halliburton….
As to the legality, I don’t know either, but when has that stopped them before?
Morning Cat! I am just so appalled. According to the WaPo story these contracts were awarded before the storm for all natural disasters in the near future. Need to find out how much they profited in Florida with Jeb’s hurricane. Someone on tv yesterday said we should get Jeb down there because he was so good at getting their last hurricane responded to. I wanted to jump through the screen and grab the idiot by the throat. Of course the president’s brother got help immediatly. Can’t neglect their own now can they? UGH!
.
The subsidiary, Kellogg, Brown & Root Services Inc., won the competitive bid contract last July to provide debris removal and other emergency work associated with natural disasters.
I have found a solid cooperative position from Navy Officers in many of the key moments of change in U.S. political history. A quiet coup d’etat of change, paid for by innocent victims no one has on its radar screen.
