8. Remember the former mess hall manager who blew the whistle

on the quality of food being served to the troops?

2) Rory Mayberry, a former manager of Halliburton's mess halls in Iraq, who testified that KBR fed U.S. troops expired food on a daily basis, and fed Turkish and Filipino workers "leftover food in boxes and garbage bags after the troops ate," while using beef, chicken, salads and sodas intended for the troops to cater parties and barbeques for KBR management and employees. He also said he was informed that "if we talked, we would be rotated out to other camps that were under fire."

here's one link

9. I wonder whatever happened to Rory? It seems his

revelations fell on deaf ears. :-(

11. He faded away about the same time Bunnatine Greenhouse did...

She was a top-ranked procurement officer for the Corps of Engineers who testified against the Pentagon; she was subsequently demoted for doing so.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9118897/

Greenhouse went public last year with her criticism of Iraq-related work awarded to Halliburton by the Corps of Engineers. Her main objection was the issuance to Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown & Root of a no-bid, five-year contract to restore Iraqi oil fields shortly before the Iraq war began in 2003.
