- SnapETom, on 12/10/2007, -20/+446Clearly killing and raping Iraqis did not make the public care. Will the public care now that the victim is a white girl from Texas?
- inactive, on 12/10/2007, -1/+200I'm imagining the horror of being her dad. You're sitting at home. Your little girl calls up crying saying she's been raped and is locked in a box....in Iraq.
And all you have the power to do is make phone calls. Gah! I might have bad dreams about it tonight. - clownshoez, on 12/10/2007, -3/+161Unbelievable?
Unfortunately not... - JohnFive, on 12/10/2007, -28/+182What do you expect from a company headed by DICK Cheney n' Crooks.
- konaken, on 12/10/2007, -6/+144Halliburton is a bunch of dirtbags. But we already knew that. They deserve as much bad exposure as possible. Digg the crap out of this one.
- inactive, on 12/10/2007, -2/+110Halliburton: Raping women and self-governing countries since our inception.
Got Dick? - brianbb98, on 12/10/2007, -1/+105war profiteers AND rapists?
- inactive, on 12/10/2007, -1/+99Disgusting. May justice be served for this poor girl.
- source1984, on 12/10/2007, -2/+97AMERICAN JUSTICE. And I wonder how many Iraqi women or other women are raped every year who don't have the convenience of a "state representative" to make it an issue.
- sparkleprincess, on 12/10/2007, -6/+93The government already claimed that they had to rescue her from the storage container.
An examination by Army doctors showed she had been raped "both vaginally and ####," but that the rape kit disappeared after it was handed over to KBR security officers."
Did you even read the entire story?? - inactive, on 12/10/2007, -0/+81"showed she had been raped "both vaginally and anally," but that the rape kit disappeared after it was handed over to KBR security officers." - Why the hell would they hand over an evidence rape kit to KBR?
- siszam, on 12/10/2007, -29/+109Wow. You use anything as an excuse to be a bigot and spread hate. This isn't about Christians.
- greenbeanz69, on 12/10/2007, -4/+72I hope this really wakes people up as to what's going on over there with that halliburton scum.
- inactive, on 12/10/2007, -2/+68So if I understand this correctly, any company that puts an arbitration clause in an employment contract can effectively place they way they treat employees above the law by denying them their right to a trial by jury? If this is true it is yet another example of how corporate America has placed themselves above the government and the people. I've said it a dozen times and I'll scream it again: CORPORATE AMERICA CAN NOT BE LEFT TO POLICE ITSELF.
- sestalker, on 12/10/2007, -12/+72I weep for this Country. God Bless Jamie Leigh Jones.
- thebillgonadz, on 12/10/2007, -2/+59I think the worst part is she started a foundation "which is dedicated to helping victims who have been raped or sexually assaulted overseas while working for government contractors or other corporations."
It happens that often? Can I be the first to say 'What the *****?!' - Ouze, on 12/10/2007, -8/+64I'm KBR's defense, sometimes to protect democracy, and fight terrorism, you need to anally rape people.
- IphtashuFitz, on 12/10/2007, -0/+54Thank god he was able to get his local congressman to listen, and his local congressman was able to work up the chain as quickly as he did.
- theutopian, on 12/10/2007, -5/+59Makes me so proud to be an American...
- lolwaffle, on 11/03/2008, -4/+55There needs to be a Godwin type law for careless mentions of Clinton.
- speedmaster, on 12/10/2007, -2/+45If true, people need to do time. Beyond outrageous.
- staxofmax, on 12/10/2007, -2/+44As a father, if this happened to my daughter and I knew who did it, what I would do to them would make "Seven" look like "The Sound of Music."
- EvilMoose, on 12/10/2007, -1/+41Once intelligence is completely privatized we wont have to even worry about such stories because we wont have the chance to do so.
- morningmatters, on 12/10/2007, -4/+44Rape is one thing, but the total lack of accountability makes you wonder how many others, both American, Iraqis, and foreign nationals have been murdered by the mercenaries out of simple greed or lust.
- Ouze, on 12/10/2007, -2/+41dude, it's been almost a decade. "The b-b-but clinton" defense just doesn't cut it anymore.
- BlueDjinn, on 12/10/2007, -4/+42What the ***** does Bill Clinton have to do with ANY of this???
Jesus, wingnuts are such pieces of crap. - Raisedshoulder, on 12/10/2007, -1/+39I really hope the ***** get charged for what they did.
- foned, on 12/10/2007, -2/+37wonderful. now maybe people will wake up to the atrocities of the halliburton company.
but im not holding my breath. - stillasleep00, on 12/10/2007, -1/+35A congressman actually working to solve a problem? Blasphemy.
- inactive, on 12/10/2007, -4/+38Beware the military-industrial complex.
- DangerCollie, on 12/10/2007, -4/+37Because the Bushies are all about accountability.
- Rahodeb, on 12/10/2007, -1/+34Why would the kit get handed over to KBR security? That seems odd.
- BlueDjinn, on 12/10/2007, -2/+35You've gotta be ***** kidding me.
First, the moment she turned 18 she had the right to work for whatever company she wanted, and to serve overseas if she wanted to (or if the company sent her there). What the hell do her parents have to do with anything?
Second, you have the right to expect a certain level of professionalism--no, decency--no, HUMANITY from your co-workers, regardless of your age or gender. Should she have expected the possibility of being injured or killed by insurgents? Of course. Should she have expected the possibility of being DRUGGED, GANG-RAPED and IMPRISONED by her OWN FELLOW EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYERS? I'm thinking "NO." - theboyqueen, on 12/10/2007, -0/+31Here, rape kits are handed over to the police. KBR is, in effect, the police over there. This would be the equivalent of a female police officer being raped by her fellow officers, and then having the evidence "disappear". Except that unlike the police in this country, KBR are not subject to US law (or any law, apparently). We, the taxpayers of the USA, are paying for this *****!
- Hickeroar, on 12/10/2007, -7/+38It has nothing to do with the "public" and everything to do with both the government and the press.
- DreKor, on 12/10/2007, -1/+32Well, they got bored with pillaging.
- nblsavage, on 12/10/2007, -8/+38Never read any story that said that Clinton raped anyone.
- Hickeroar, on 12/10/2007, -1/+31The problem is, it probably won't.
- cosinezero, on 12/10/2007, -6/+34Wow, what do you have against Satanism??
- nblsavage, on 12/10/2007, -1/+28Red, we are usually on opposite sides of things on here, but that comment is something I can agree whole-heartedly with. Politics be dammed, wrong is wrong.
- inactive, on 12/10/2007, -12/+39I'm so sick of this *****. The ***** who voted this VP and this administration in office needs to be shot in the ***** balls for supporting Satanism.
And yes... I'm a bit emotional... - scm21st, on 12/10/2007, -3/+30Exactly. It's hard to fathom how many innocent men, women and children have been killed and maimed over there because of OUR war. Most in this country don't seem to give a damn about that. If the evening news would just show one photo to the sheep here of a Father somewhere in Iraq carrying the corpse of his son or little girl out of the rubble (a scene that has happened thousands of times over there) maybe the human aspect would hit home.
- DreKor, on 12/10/2007, -1/+28I wasn't aware that parents had to let their 20 year old daughter do anything. At 18 you can really do whatever you want.
- bolognium, on 12/10/2007, -11/+37you gotta admit that this war is mostly supported by fundamentalists who think this it's "good versus evil", "us versus them", "with us or against us"... y'know, nutjobs who think the US represents good and muslims represent evil.
- nblsavage, on 12/10/2007, -0/+26good question.
- thatkidrich44, on 12/10/2007, -3/+27What a horrible story, man this country is going to *****!! ***** you W!!!!
- removesstains, on 12/10/2007, -5/+28What an *****.
- staxofmax, on 12/10/2007, -2/+24Don't count on it....
From the article: "KBR has moved for Jones' claim to be heard in private arbitration, instead of a public courtroom. It says her employment contract requires it. "
This poor girl won't see justice, let alone one thin dime. Sometimes this country makes me sick. - nblsavage, on 12/10/2007, -1/+23http://news.google.com/news?tab=wn&hl=en&ned=&q=ra ...
Knock yourself out *****. - bolognium, on 12/10/2007, -1/+23who's defending clinton?? you realize you're being a hypocrite don't you? judging anybody who disagrees with you as supporting clinton... it happens all the time - rip into bush/cheney and suddenly you must support clinton..
