iraq contracts - what are friends for?
WORKERS, FEB 2005 ISSUE
The government has overridden the British candidate Amec and given Kellogg Brown & Root, a US subsidiary of Dick Cheney's Halliburton, the key job of overseeing construction of the Royal Navy's two new aircraft carriers, the biggest warships ever built in Britain. Yet KBR is in bankruptcy protection in the USA, and has botched the running of its other British warship facility, the Devonport dockyard in Plymouth. A nice sweetener for Bush, though.
