Eight of them beat him for this...

His son Ronald "was meeting a lot of resistance on the memorandum that he produced to Halliburton in regards to the security of the airport," Eli Chavez said. "He felt that the security of the airport was not secure.
He felt that American lives were at stake and that he wanted to save those lives, and especially anybody that's in that airport. He wanted to make sure everything was fine."

The elder Chavez said his son's memo angered some higher-ups in the company.

Another possibility, Eli Chavez said, is that someone was upset about e-mails he had been sending home.

In one December e-mail, read on Democracy Now!, Ronald Chavez said, "I have been working very hard to secure the airport, and it is a dangerous place. The company that runs the security is undermanned and when you have people in your perimeter, it's almost impossible to secure. Plus, all the attitudes and perceptions people seem to have -- I feel it's not if a bomb will hit, but when. I am trying to persuade people we need to move the operation to our own facility."

In an e-mail he sent his father two weeks later, also read on the radio show, Ronald Chavez spoke of alleged corruption in the Iraqi government. That missive spoke of a private security company that, Ronald Chavez said, had threatened to walk off the job because employees hadn't been paid in several weeks.

"The Iraq government was taking the money from the U.S. and not giving it to (the company)," Ronald Chavez's e-mail said. "The money is probably in a Swiss account somewhere. These people are the most corrupt bunch I've ever seen. Everyone is on the take."
.....
The alleged "Redneck Mafia" is made up of KBR employees from around Leesville, La., where, Eli Chavez said, KBR does heavy recruiting.

Turns out Chavez's dad is a former dem candidate for some NM district (and a former DEA and CIA agent) and Senator Bingaman's become involved.

2. These aren't rednecks. These are brown shirts.

It is one of the ways Bush-era corporate fascism has come to its more classical forerunners. The corporation organizes the goon squads and the government does not protect the victims.

I'll take any bets here that Frat Boy will lift a finger to punish the guilty.
