Judge dismisses KBR’s attempt to divert legal bills on sickened troops in Iraq to taxpayers A federal judge last week dismissed a lawsuit by contractor KBR that had argued the taxpayers should pay millions of dollars in legal bills rung up by the company as it defended itself against other lawsuits accusing it of wrongdoing. A day before last week’s dismissal, KBR suffered a another setback in a long-running series of lawsuits accusing the company of negligence for using Open-Air Burn Pits, spreading toxic fumes in Iraq and Afghanistan. In a ruling affecting more than 50 burn pit lawsuits, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said KBR didn’t have immunity from the lawsuits, reversing an earlier decision. washingtontimes/news/2014/mar/10/judge-dismisses-kbrs-attempt-to-divert-legal-bills/
