"Every
US labor law was broken."
By David Phinney

Working as general foreman, he [John
Owen, of the First Kuwaiti Trading & Contracting] would be overseeing
an army of workers building the largest, most expensive and heavily
fortified US embassy in the world. ...[S]even months into the job,
he quit... Brutal and inhumane, he says "I've
never seen a project more fucked up. Every US labor law was broken."
In the resignation letter last June, Owen told First Kuwaiti and
US State Department officials that his managers beat their construction
workers, demonstrated little regard for worker safety, and routinely
breeched security. And it was all happening smack in the middle
of the US-controlled Green Zone -- right under the nose of the
State Department that had quietly awarded the controversial embassy
contract in July 2005.
