Sommario/riassunto |
|
"WASHINGTON - The Army official who managed the Pentagon's largest contract in Iraq says he was ousted from his job when he refused to approve paying more than 1 billion in questionable charges to KBR..." (James Risen, New York Times, June 17, 2008). This book by that very Army official provides an eye-opening firsthand account of how the US Government hands over your tax dollars to support contractors like KBR and Halliburton, rather than supporting the troops. |
