U.S. war funding bill brims with unrelated extras
For Some Stimulus Contractors, a Blemished Past
Excerpt
“One company paid nearly $1 million for destroying seagrass in the Florida Keys marine sanctuary. Another settled a discrimination case after federal investigators found it refused to hire black employees. A third firm was rebuked by the Army for poorly screening interrogators it hired – interrogators who later abused prisoners at Abu Ghraib.
Despite those problems, the three companies have won millions of dollars in contracts under the economic stimulus package.”
