Security contractor Adam Hermanson at the Swords of Qadisiyyah in Zawra Park, Iraq.
Death and Politics For Contractors–A Cautionary Tale
09/16/2009
The other day I was watching a show called Democracy Now headlined by Amy Goodman and Jeremy Scahill, and I was appalled. They had the family of Adam Hermanson on the show, and the supposed focus was the accidental death of Adam Hermanson in Iraq. You would think the show would be centered on who did the electrical work that caused the death of this security contractor? Or maybe even a focus on the lack of management and quality control by the contracting officers and construction company that was tasked with building Camp Olympia and it’s facilities? But that wasn’t the case, and instead it was a disgusting display of politics.
