Video of mothers testifying in front of Congress

From the Real News Network: At a Senate hearing on July 11th, 2008, the mothers of two electrocuted soldiers placed the blame for their sons’ deaths with KBR, the world’s largest defense services company. Two former KBR electricians described mismanagement, inadequate equipment, and a “good old boy network” that puts soliders’ lives at risk.

As I blogged about here, KBR has a history of shoddy workmanship, yet still receives government contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan. So far at least 13 Soldiers deaths via electrocution are attributed to KBR.
