In an extended bonus scene from the new documentary ‘Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers’, Ben Carter, a former Halliburton/KBR water purification specialist, discusses discovering Halliburton was providing dangerously contaminated water to troops, and the serious long-term implications.

The Senate Democratic Policy Committee held hearings on the water contamination issue on January 23, 2006. Whistleblowers Ben Carter and Ken May testified that Halliburton subsidiary KBR knowingly exposes troops and civilians to contaminated water from Iraq’s Euphrates River. (Transcript of the hearing, Ben Carter’s testimony).

On March 16, 2006, the Associated Press released an internal 21-page Halliburton report which admits that KBR exposed U.S. troops to contaminated water throughout Iraq. The Defense Department pays Halliburton over $400 million each month for their work in Iraq.
