KBR, Partner in Iraq Contract Sued in Human Trafficking Case

A Washington law firm filed a lawsuit yesterday against KBR, one of the largest U.S. contractors in Iraq, alleging that the company and its Jordanian subcontractor engaged in the human trafficking of Nepali workers.

Agnieszka Fryszman, a partner at Cohen, Milstein, Hausfeld & Toll, said 13 Nepali men, between the ages of 18 and 27, were recruited in Nepal to work as kitchen staff in hotels and restaurants in Amman, Jordan. But once the men arrived in Jordan, their passports were seized and they were told they were being sent to a military facility in Iraq, Fryszman said.

As the men were driven in cars to Iraq, they were stopped by insurgents. Twelve were kidnapped and later executed, Fryszman said. The thirteenth man survived and worked in a warehouse in Iraq for 15 months before returning to Nepal.

The lawsuit, filed in a federal court in California on behalf of the workers’ families and the survivor, claims that the trafficking scheme was engineered by KBR and its Jordanian subcontractor, Daoud & Partners, according to Fryszman.

This spring, an administrative law judge at the Department of Labor, which has jurisdiction over cases that involve on the job injuries at overseas military bases, ordered Daoud to pay $1 million to the families of 11 of the victims. Attempts to reach officials at Daoud were unsuccessful. A phone message was left at their office in Dubai and e-mails were sent seeking comment.

What part of the word “alleged” is giving you trouble, Sparkie? It does say alleged, doesn’t it?

I could just as easily file a suit against you alleging you have a brain, but it would be whole lot harder to prove. Idiot.

Bullwinkle.

C’mon fellas.

Setting my watch to that!

Did you see me apologizing? What a dickhead. You and your buddy RBB are playing gotcha with a story that plainly states that a lawyer is alleging something and you act like KBR has already been convicted. Even if I cared that KBR is being sued I wouldn’t feel any need to apologize for them. You and RBB, on the other hand are idiots if you believe that KBR or any other multi-bilion $ corp would be involved with anything like this.

What could KBR actually hope to add to their bottom line by kidnapping 13 Nepali men?

Just how much do you two morons think that would effect profits?

If you two Marxists ever grow anything that even looks like a second or third brain cell you’ll see just how stupid this is. That’s a damn big if....

You and your buddy RBB

RBB is not ‘my buddy’. We agree from time to time and both take pleasure in heckling the Victorians around here but I wouldn’t say we’re buddies.

You and RBB, on the other hand are idiots if you believe that KBR or any other multi-bilion $ corp would be involved with anything like this.

Ha. Not apologizing still, eh?

Nope, asshole. I haven’t even attepted to apologize, nothing I’ve said can even be construed as an apology, even by an idiot like you, at least not honestly, unless you’re far stupider than your BUDDY RBB.

Are you telling me that RBB isn’t the fellow Marxist you knew?

BTW Dickhead, you didn’t bother answering my questions. Could it be that you overlooked them?

Got any answers or are just going to be an apologist for being RBB’s secret marxist lover?

Bullwinkle on August 28, 2008 at 05:52 pm

Asshole, dickhead, etc. Wow. This apologist is pissed. Hee hee hee.

What could KBR actually hope to add to their bottom line by kidnapping 13 Nepali men?

Oh, I dunno. Money.

Contractors working for the United States, including KBR, a Houston-based subsidiary of Halliburton Corp., have brought tens of thousands of workers into Iraq from impoverished countries such as Nepal, the Philippines and Bangladesh to do menial jobs, from cooking and serving food to cleaning toilets.

Just how much do you two morons think that would effect profits?

Well, I’m sure you one of those types who gets all worked up about illegal aliens. Here’s a good one for you.

Halliburton and its subcontractors hired hundreds of undocumented Latino workers to clean up after Katrina…

Pissed over two dickheads gloating over a non-story like they’ve dug up gold?

Hardly.

So you’re ignorant enough to believe that trafficking in 13 Nepalese workers and sending them to Jordan is really effecting the bottom line for a multi-billion $ corp like KBR is profitable enough to get KBR to do it?

Still want to passing the pathetic, outright lie that I’m an apologist for KBR off as the truth?

You can join up with Hannitized, the lying piece of shit if you want to. You can be pying POS #2. Twinkle Toes, RBB’s secret lover, closet Marxist and lying piece of shit. Has a ring to it, doesn’t it?

What a moron.

Bullwinkle,
Wipe the spit off your monitor, bro.

Pissed over two dickheads gloating over a non-story like they’ve dug up gold?

Hardly.

You sure do fire back a lot and use a lot of namecalling for not being pissed. Hee hee hee. KBR employee or something?

So you’re ignorant enough to believe that trafficking in 13 Nepalese workers and sending them to Jordan is really effecting the bottom line for a multi-billion $ corp like KBR is profitable enough to get KBR to do it?

I don’t know if you knew this, but KBR gets to charge a lot of money for driving trucks through very dangerous places. In turn, they kidnap (in some cases, allegedly) Nepalese, etc. and have them drive these death runs so they can charge the taxpayer out the nose. Thirteen humans? You are trying to say this story is a wash because 13 human beings aren’t worth shit? And YOU are calling ME a dickhead? Heh.

Got any other excuses or apologetics to offer us?

Idiot, I see you decided to join the list of lying pieces of shit! It’s official now Twinkle Toes, you’re lying piece of shit #2. FYI, I always name call when I’m dealing with subhumans like you and RBB and lying piece of shit #1, Hannitized. Welcome to the real world, you are trash so prepare to be treated like trash.

In case you haven’t figured it out yet, Jordanians, like the ones being replaced by the Nepalese workers are also some of the poorest people on the planet so the savings that their boss might have realized was about what you make in a year, in other words, jack shit. Only a broke-assed moron would see the whopping $2 or 3 per person as a profit. What lie are you going to tell when the court refuses to hear the case? Some kind of conspiracy theory, I’m sure. It’s always a conspiracy theory with you Marxists.

I always name call when I’m dealing with subhumans

Okay. Wow. You are really consolidating your case here, cunt. Let’s see, you namecalled, then you did some more, then you said its bullshit because 13 Nepalese aren’t worth shit, then you referred to people who disagree with you as subhuman and made reference to a list you keep? M’kay. I think we got a Timothy McVeigh type on our hands here. Go burn a doggy head and blow off some steam Jeffrey Dahmer. I’m glad I succeeded in making you all deranged over this. Its cunts like you I most love to razz. You are a predictable little apologist. Maybe you should hire yourself out, usually people don’t whore like you for free.

I would only like to urge you to read my last comment and this post I did just for you.

Liar:

then you said its bullshit because 13 Nepalese aren’t worth shit

Another lie from twinkle toes:

You are a predictable little apologist.

Even a Leftard lying piece of shit like you knows I wasn’t apologizing for KBR, just like the other lying piece of shit, Hannitized, there isn’t a lie you won’t tell to make you otherwise unsupportable case.
