"Just drink the bottled water" Great advice except the reports were not intended to address drinking water, but rather water for washing, bathing, shaving ect.

Never mind the water was not maintained in accordance with field water sanitary standards.

Water used for hygiene must also meet minimum safety standards due to the potential for harmful exposure through the eyes, nose, mouth, cuts and wounds.

So long as they cant prove the water caused any problems, to hell with accountability

Shorter Geoff Morrell: The troops? F--k 'em.

Another in a long list of professional liars hired by the fascists at the Pentagon.

Part 2 of my comment, is that I was with the engineers in Camp Ramadi and nobody told us about the bad water but our showers smelled like $hit and when we complained they said just keep your mouth closed I'm sure it's fine. NO ONE has made an effort to contact ANY of the soldiers that were affected. KBR told Granger, their employee, that the troops were "NONE OF HIS CONCERN" when he said he wanted to inform them of the exposure. Still, KBR gets paid.

"The bottled water was okay" umm no, the troops there through 2006 had the water bottles with the white caps recalled, then the water bottles with the blue caps. A soldier in Ramadi reporter they were down to drinking hot tea from locals for three full days while working at a checkpoint. In Anaconda, soldiers reported hearing that the recalls were due to Arsenic in the water. Then they were given water with no label and a cracked seal with a white cap and told it was good to go. WTF?

FYI, skin is the largest human organ.  Transdermal infection occurs through skin besides cut and abrasions. Who is this moron Geogg Morrell?
