ベクテル、ハリバートン他、イラク復興事業にたかるハゲタカ達。
やらずぶったくりの見事なお仕事ぶり。
発電所、電話交換局および下水、ならびに衛生システム等、主要なインフラは修理されていないか
貧弱な工事により作動せずまるで役に立たないかのどちらか。
学校の修理の為に何千万もの金を手にしたベクテルは殆ど何もしていない。
修理済みの学校の一つは下水道がオーバーフロー。
教師は、「アメリカの契約者が私たちの日本のファンを取り去り、それらを米国政府に仕事の請求書を送って、作動しないシリアのファンに取り替えた」と言っている。
イラクのガードマンは、給料として分配された金銭のたった10%しか実際には受け取っていない。
例として、ハリバートンの22億ドルのうち、約10%だけがコミュニティーに行き、残りは全て
米軍へのサービスおよび石油パイプラインの再建に費やされている。
ハリバートンは、見つかりもしない多量破壊兵器の捜索に4000万ドル以上を費やした。

Investigation Reveals Reconstruction Racket In Iraq
Feb 05, 2004
Source: www.corpwatch.org
A team of investigative reporters in Iraq have found a pattern of waste, fraud and abuse among U.S. companies receiving multi-million-dollar reconstruction contracts in the country, including massive over-charges for projects; shoddy work or a failure to complete tasks; and ignoring local experts who contend they could do the job better and cheaper.
The in-depth report by CorpWatch's Pratap Chatterjee and Focus on the Global South's Herbert Docena, published in the latest issue of Southern Exposure magazine, is an on-the-ground account of how U.S. taxpayer money given to Bechtel, Halliburton and other companies is being spent.
The investigative team spent three weeks in Iraq visiting project sites, analyzing contracts, and interviewing dozens of administrators, contract workers, and U.S. officials. Among the findings:
* Despite over eight months of work and billions of dollars spent, key pieces of Iraq's infrastructure power plants, telephone exchanges, and sewage and sanitation systems have either not been repaired, or have been fixed so poorly that they don't function.
* San Francisco-based Bechtel has been given tens of millions to repair Iraqs schools. Yet many haven't been touched, and several schools that Bechtel claims to have repaired are in shambles. One repaired school was overflowing with unflushed sewage; a teacher at the school also reported that the American contractors took away our Japanese fans and replaced them with Syrian fans that don't work billing the U.S. government for the work.
* Inflated overhead costs and a byzantine maze of sub-contracts have left little money for the everyday workers carrying out projects. In one contract for police operations, Iraqi guards received only 10% of the money allotted for their salaries; Indian cooks for Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown & Root reported making just three dollars a day.
The report also reveals further details of Halliburton's contracts: for example, that of Halliburton's $2.2 billion in contracts, only about 10% has gone to meeting community needs the rest being spent on servicing U.S. troops and rebuilding oil pipelines. Halliburton has also spent over $40 million in the unsuccessful search for weapons of mass destruction.
"A handful of well-connected corporations are making a killing off the devastation in Iraq" observes Chris Kromm, publisher of Southern Exposure. "The politics and process behind these deals have always been questionable. Now we have first-hand evidence that they're not even doing their jobs."
