A Houston judged has decided to keep the doors closed on a trial pitting truckers against Halliburton/KBR for allegedly sending the drivers into a known area of combat.
The complaint contends that the truckers were decoys sent out to draw fire and attacks from the Iraqi insurgency. They were nothing more than sitting ducks who were ordered to drive military-style camouflage tankers with no armored plating and directed to travel a different route from other convoys, the drivers claim.
Halliburton and KBR “knew and intended” that the decoy convoy would be attacked and intentionally put its civilian contractors in danger, the lawsuit contends.
The Houston Chroncle has the story.
If the documents were unsealed , we may have learned this.
Well, this is a bunch of crap! It is some more of Hallibuton’s string pulling.
