The Justice Department is suing KBR and two foreign companies for allegedly defrauding the Army. The most shocking accusation from the lawsuit: Workers used "refrigerated trailers to transport ice for consumption by the troops that had previously been used as temporary morgues without first sanitizing them." "Sometime around July 2003, while R-89 was being used as a morgue, the refrigeration motor broke down, leading KBR to send it back to Kuwait for repairs," the suit said. "In late August 2003, after R-89 was repaired, KBR used the reefer to transport potable ice for the troops at Camp Matilda in Kuwait. KBR did not properly sanitize R-89 before loading it with potable ice for use by the troops."
