The Associated Press: Suits over Iraqi convoy deaths delayed by ruling

Friday, March 26th, 2010

Convoys were first attacked on April 8, 2004. After the attacks of that day, some KBR e-mails suggested halting all convoys on April 9 because “there is tons of intel stating that tomorrow will be another bad day.”

The next day’s convoys continued, and as four of them were under attack while a fifth was sent out, Ray Simpson, one of KBR’s security managers, wrote in an e-mail: “Can anyone explain to me why we put civilians in the middle of known ambush sites? … Maybe we should put body bags on the packing list for our drivers.”

I will not rant. I will not rant. I will not rant. I will not rant.
