k.b.r. spokesperson said spoke to this and this is what this this person said they said it was necessary to enter into this agreement because the conditions in iraq are dangerous and it's no secret even though it's been declared mission accomplished in iraq that it's a situation they're very volatile very unstable so it's not a valid argument. well i don't think there's any question really that there was it was a very unstable situation in the country at the time that's true. but the government leader. actually in two thousand and eleven the first turned down k.b.r. for this indemnification and their argument was that well yeah there was. an unstable situation with regards to the military situation but in regard to the specific water treatment plant that was an unusually hazardous and that's why they thought that indemnification would not apply. interesting. you know that you deal a lot with your very you know about k.b.r. but other government contractors and in terms of this indemnification agreement how common are they will a couple years ago the pentagon turned over to senator ron wyden.

k.b.r. spokesperson said it was necessary to enter into this agreement because the conditions in iraq are dangerous well it's no secret that despite declaring mission accomplished in iraq the country has increasingly been unstable in the coming months and years so in light of that would you say that's a valid argument you know like for the whole business about why they should get this bailout how they got it that's not really something that we dealt with directly but i can say this there are a number of contractors today including k.b.r. that are doing all kinds of work military without this kind of bail out of her. well with a similar indemnification agreement is that is that what you're saying no i'm saying is there's many con matter of fact contractors today doing many of the same type of jobs that don't have this extra add on bailout agreement that k.b.r. that don't have it so you know without really being able to say for sure you know why they got of the first place i think it is pretty clear that it's not something that that's necessary to get contractors to do this work and competitively for
