Arbeit Macht Frei

Last time I consulted the annals of ex post facto casus belli in Iraq, our official rationale for slaughtering 200,000 Iraqis was to free the Iraqi people. Hence the brand name, Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Why then are we using slave labor in support operations there?

To be precise, why are we paying Halliburton subsidiary KBR for its slave operations promoting freedom? Note in particular the fate of the 12 Nepalese mentioned by the Tribune at the above link.
