KBR workers in Iraq paid 50 cents an hour
"WASHINGTON, DC, United States (UPI) -- While the United States
spends billions on troop support in Iraq, the people serving the
meals, scooping the ice cream, and washing the dishes make as little
as 50 cents an hour.
The U.S. military has paid Halliburton subsidiary KBR about $12
billion so far for so-called logistics support to U.S. military
personnel in Iraq, the largest contract of its kind ever (...)
Neither the U.S. military nor prime contractor KBR sets a minimum
wage standard for workers employed by any sub-contractor under the
Logistics Civilian Augmentation Program -- known as LOGCAP. Jana
Weston, the deputy program director of LOGCAP, told UPI in September
she was unaware that some workers were being paid $150 a month."

"Most U.S. troops will leave Iraq within a year because the Army is
"broken, worn out" and "living hand to mouth," Rep. John Murtha told
a civic group.
Two weeks ago, Murtha created a storm of comment when he called for
U.S. troops to leave Iraq now. The Democratic congressman spoke to a
group of community and business leaders in Latrobe on Wednesday, the
same day President Bush said troops would be withdrawn when they've
achieved victory, not under an artificial deadline set by
politicians.
Murtha predicted most troops will be out of Iraq within a year."
