The same thing happens is happening in New Orleans, by the way. Yay privatization and outsourcing!

Down to the trailers.



It's probably also all the same people who do all the construction in Dubai too. The use of slave labor has been a sticky issue for them for a while.

http://hrw.org/reports/2006/uae1106/

And from what I understand, the UAE cares even less about the use of slave labor than we do.



Though, interestingly enough, these workers would rather be in Dubai than Baghdad.

First Kuwaiti's labor practices are already under investigation by the Justice Department amid allegations that foreign employees were brought into Iraq under false pretenses -- such as being told that they were to work in Dubai -- and then forbidden to leave because the company had confiscated their passports.



You know things are pretty bad if slave laborers would rather slave for the UAE than for the U.S.A.



Being a slave in the UAE is a no brainer compared to Iraq. Id rather be a slave in a peaceful area than a warzone, all things being equal.
