KBR charged with bribing Nigerian officials for contracts
The former Halliburton subsidiary KBR has been charged with bribing Nigerian government officials with "tens of millions of dollars" to obtain "billions of dollars in contracts," according to court documents filed late Friday in Houston, Texas.
Once thought to be the world's leading company in every facet, KBR has, in recent times, been accused of everything from bribery to killing a soldier in Iraq to harboring Al-Qaeda terrorists in its work staff.
Official spokesperson for KBR, Khalid Esmail, replied in an email, "I just think that the Pakistani/Israeli conflict needs to get solved already. And why are we bringing Nigeria into this? Hasn't Hakeem done enough for us that we make them an allie already? We are not providing further comment at this time. By the way, KBR is the greatest company in the world. Go Tigers."

I Didn't Know Lid Was A Poet!
Even though I could never be as poetic as Lid (click here to see why), I thought I would write a haiku to express how the world feels (or should feel) about him:
a voice like Celine
lid purrs into the mic and
he has sexy legs

KBR Strikes Again
Contractor for military committed serious violations
Houston-based contractor, KBR, providing services to the U.S. military in Iraq and Afghanistan, has committed serious violations of its contract, mainly by conducting inadequate inspections of electrical wiring and grounding at American bases, according to Pentagon sources.
"I want KBR to be exposed. More than anything, I just want them to step up and take care of what they're being paid to take care of, and to do the work that they are contracted to do. More than anything, let's put the security and the safety of our troops first," Harris said.
When asked for comment, KBR's most valued and productive Palestinian worker, Khalid Esmail, replied, "KBR is the greatest company on Earth. Did you know that KBR designed Minute Maid Park? No, seriously. They did."
