Slave Labor allegedly currently used to build $600mn US Iraqi embassy
"At this time our reach does not extend to third-country hiring practices," said William Moser, the deputy assistant secretary for acquisitions.
The embassy, slated to be the largest U.S. diplomatic mission in the world, is being built by a Kuwait-based firm, First Kuwaiti General Trading & Contracting Co., which was awarded the contract after no American company would meet the terms, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform was told.
Brief details here.
IMO: Sounds typical current US foreign policy, when we bear in mind allegations of prisoner abuse, torture and violence appearing everywhere.
