DoD IG: KBR Overcharged The Navy After Hurricane Katrina
Andrew Tilghman - June 17, 2008 - http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/06/dod_ig_kbr_overcharged_the_nav.php

We pointed out this morning the New York Times story that suggested KBR was over charging the military on Iraq-related contracts and threatening to cut off services to combat troops if the bills weren't paid. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/17/washington/17contractor.html?_r=2&hp&oref=slogin&oref=slogin

Now here's another one about KBR's billing. This time from the Department of Defense Inspector General. And it looks at the company's role in the clean-up efforts after Hurricane Katrina.

The Houston Chronicle reports: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/5841167.html

The Pentagon Inspector General said he could find no documentation in Navy contracting files to back up KBR claims
