[quote]This morning the Democratic Policy Committee (DPC) held a follow-up hearing regarding Halliburton subsidiary KBR’s failure to test and treat water provided to military installations throughout Iraq.

The first of three to testify at this morning’s hearing was Jeffery Griffiths M.D., Associate Professor of Public Health and Family Medicine at Tufts School of Medicine. What he had to say resonated greatly with the panel.
