The Center for Public Integrity

Investigations Investigations

The Center reveals that military contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan grew from $11 billion in 2004 to more than $25 billion in 2006 — and that billions have gone to unidentified foreign companies.

Key Findings:

  • The former Halliburton subsidiary, KBR, Inc., won more than $16 billion in U.S. government contracts for reconstruction work in Iraq and Afghanistan from 2004 to 2006 — far more than any other company, according to analysis by the Center for Public Integrity. Over the three years studied, more than $20 billion in contracts went to foreign companies whose identities — at least so far — are impossible to determine.
  • The Center identified the top 100 postwar contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan from 2004 to 2006, accompanied by full-text access to some 360 documents including reports, audits, testimony, project site inspections, and government correspondence.
