Mayberry Testimony on Kidnapping of Workers for US Embassy Baghdad



I mentioned story the other day briefly about allegations that the Kuwaiti contracting firm building the US embassy in Baghdad has Shanghaied workers, bringing them to the Middle East under false pretences and depriving them of their passports-- In essence, of kidnapping them. The video testimony below by medic Rory Mayberry is much more powerful than a newspaper report could be. He talks about a gun being used to silence protesting workers just told they are really going to Baghdad!

Thanks goodness these people had the Right to Work and no unnecessary, costly and dangerous union representation.

A report by David Phinney has been on the alternative media for a while.

Phinney gives more details (like First Kuwaiti being a subcontractor of Halliburton/KBR -- what a surprise).
