Congressional Witness Believes "Slave Labor" Used to Build Baghdad Embassy

If there were not video to back this up, I would have sworn this story and assertion that Fillipino slave labor has been used building the U.S. Embassy in Baghada, I would have sworn it had appeard in the Onion.

The witnesses name is Rory J. Mayberry and his written testimony is here. The short testimony is offered support allegations that forced labor has been used to build the embassy by some of its contractors, including First Kuwaiti, a company that is responsible for large portions of the contract.

The piece appears at Think Progress and carries with it a fair number of comments that this guy should be hailed as a patriot. I wonder where his evidence is.
