Halliburton Convoy Attack (disturbing)

This is not a fun video to watch, but we have added it to our collection to give people a sense of the real dangers our people face everyday in Iraq and Afghanistan. We have a lot of regular people working in Iraq who are not soldiers and who are not even armed. This video really caused us to question if it is the right thing for the US Government to send unarmed civilian contractors into combat zones. As you will see they are not safe even with Army "gun trucks" protecting them.

Background:
The video, shot on Sept. 20, 2005 by KBR truck driver Preston Wheeler, shows what initially appears to be a routine convoy of sixteen-wheeler trucks delivering supplies to U.S. troops.

Three KBR truck drivers were killed that day. They are Keven Dagit, 42 (in truck 3), of Jefferson, Iowa; Christopher Lem, 40, (in truck 1) of Lyndon Station, Wisconsin; and Sascha Grenner-Case (in truck 4) of Sierra Vista, Arizona. Wheeler, who lives in Arkansas, was shot and barely survived. Two other drivers, including Terry Steward (in truck 2) of Idaho, were also injured.
