"But the employees say they couldn't get Halliburton to inform camp residents of the problem."

See, bad water is maybe a mistake. Refusing to report bad water to the folks using it, even after your own employees have informed you the water is bad? That's not a mistake, it's a decision.

A decision by a huge company that got a no-bid contract for military support in Iraq. That used to be run by the Vice President. That got that no bid, no competition, anti-capitalist contract from a government all three branches of which are controlled by the Republicans, not in any grand conspiracy way, but in that the house , senate and presiency are all actually really controlled by republicans.

It's more like you report a car wreck. And then the insurance company and the police refuse to admit it happened, and the police won't call an ambulance so you have to do it yourself and wonder if the police might get angry. And then it turns out that the police and the insurance company both work for the same people and even though they keep screwing up and taking bribes and doing their jobs all wrong, the never, never get fired.
