There’s this: KBR\/Halliburton may have poisoned 100,000 in Iraq…<\/a><\/p>\n

Defense contractor KBR may have exposed as many as 100,000 people, including US troops, to cancer-causing toxins by burning waste in open-air pits in Iraq, says a series of class-action lawsuits filed against the company.<\/p>\n

At least 22 separate lawsuits claiming KBR poisoned American soldiers in Iraq have been combined into a single massive lawsuit that says KBR, which until not long ago was a subsidiary of Halliburton, sought to save money by disposing of toxic waste and incinerating numerous potentially harmful substances in open-air “burn pits.”<\/p><\/div>\n

And now this: Pfizer broke the law by promoting drugs for unapparoved uses…<\/a><\/p>\n

Prosecutor Michael Loucks remembers clearly when lawyers for Pfizer Inc., the world’s largest drug company, looked across the table and promised it wouldn’t break the law again.
\n…
\nIn the agreement<\/a> the lawyers eventually hammered out, the Pfizer unit, Warner-Lambert, pleaded guilty to two felony counts of marketing a drug for unapproved uses.<\/p>\n

New York-based Pfizer agreed to pay $430 million<\/a> in criminal fines and civil penalties, and the company’s lawyers assured Loucks and three other prosecutors that Pfizer and its units would stop promoting drugs for unauthorized purposes.<\/p>\n

What Loucks, who’s now acting U.S. attorney in Boston, didn’t know until years later was that Pfizer managers were breaking that pledge not to practice so-called off-label marketing even before the ink was dry on their plea.<\/p><\/div>\n

We must stop those those fuckers from ACORN immediately<\/i>! It’s an outrage!<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong><\/i> Just in: Blackwater attempted to bribe Iraq with $1 million (tax-payer dollars!) after Nisour Square Massacre<\/a> and owner Erik Prince knew about it. How much more evidence do you need? ACORN’s behavior is atrocious and must<\/em> be stopped!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
