Yahoo reported yesterday that two defense contractors are accused of human trafficking.   The Yahoo Article says that KBR.Inc and a Jordanian sub-contractor were transporting 12 Nepali men against their will to Iraq when the men were killed in an attack.

Of course, the lawsuit hasn’t gone to trial and is still in its early stages.   If it is true, then this kind of behavior should never be tolerated in the modern world.  In fact, it should have never been tolerated at all.  Perhaps there is irony that the lawsuit was filed just before our Labor Day Weekend.
