This story was on ABC's Night/Line last night, 9/27/06. A construction
worker for Halliburton was driving down an Iraqi road with his
convoy, when they were attacked & shot at. The worker video
taped the whole incident.
6 months afterward, Halliburton told him to keep the story quiet &
fired him for "being injured on the job".
He said this is in the contract when you sign up to work for them.
Unbelievable? Looked real to me.

The worker said the contract says,
if you are injured, attacked or shot, you'll
will be fired for injury on the job.
Not about being quiet.

As you would know it American labor laws from the deceiving Republicans would never want to pay your medical expenses. I am sure any law suites wouldn't be invalid as well. Iraq really sounds like a safe place, since George Bush attacked them for WMD's and came up short.

Keep your mouth shut which is a legal binding contract.

I bet if this story was broken down you would find it to be totally false. Sort of like believing anything you see on 60 minutes.
