Bad wiring simply obscene way to die

May 7, 2008

There can be no comfort in knowing your child was electrocuted while bathing in a shower constructed by "poorly trained Iraqis and Afghans paid just a few dollars a day" ("Faulty wiring killing U.S. soldiers in Iraq," May 4), especially when the job was contracted to KBR - a former subsidiary of Halliburton, which is making billions from the military.

To have your child die honorably in the war is one thing, but this is obscene.
