Slave labor used to build US Embassy in Iraq?
Rory Mayberry is a former subcontractor employee for First Kuwaiti Trading & Contracting Company, which was contracted by the US State Dept. to build the $600 million US Embassy in Iraq.
He testified before the US Congressional Oversight Committee's "Allegations of Waste, Fraud, and Abuse at the New U.S. Embassy in Iraq" hearing that First Kuwaiti used Filipino slave labor to build the embassy, and that the State Department is covering it up.
