COMMENTS: CONTRACTOR’S KILLINGS
Democratic control of Senate committees will mean intensified oversight hearings. CBS' Armen Keteyian gave us a preview of the Judiciary Committee for his Investigates feature. Sen Patrick Leahy plans to probe contractors working for the Pentagon in Iraq. Those firms employ 60,000 civilians in total and 80 cases of waste, fraud or abuse are under investigation. Kellogg Brown Root, for example, is accused of overcharging for military use of recreation facilities by a factor of ten. So far, said Keteyian, "not a single criminal case has been filed against any large corporation doing work in Iraq."
