- hiphoc, on 12/14/2007, -1/+44The crazy part was that she was fund in the belly of a ship. What the *****??? I have been hearing about Halliburton and Dyncorp kidnapping people for a while but this is crazy.
Here is the Link from the Chicago Sun Tribune about how Halliburton is involved in human trafficking.

Also in this video about 50 seconds in Rumsfeld gets grilled as to why Dyncorp gets Govt contracts when they have been busted trafficking women and children.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eootfzAhAoU - aman78, on 12/14/2007, -5/+40Of course it wasn't. For anyone who thinks that those videos are only times it happens is a delusional fool.
- wakananda, on 12/14/2007, -0/+27This massive private army of professional killers, trained to be literally above the law, is coming to YOUR neighborhood in the next "National Emergency." The next young women raped will be OUR DAUGHTERS. I despise the simplistic "evildoer" rhetoric of this regime, but Blackwater is evil if anything is. It's a cancerous threat to our nation, and it must be destroyed quickly and decisively, to avoid a protracted battle.
- RHandler, on 12/14/2007, -1/+27I'm waiting for O'Reilly or Ann Coulter to say she was asking for it.
- diizy, on 12/14/2007, -2/+23Its disgusting, rediculous, I could go on. The sad result of a war fought by corporations.
- Vlux, on 12/14/2007, -0/+17Geez America. Grow a spine and throw these people out. I'm Canadian and even I'm sympathetic as to what these neocons are doing to your country.
- SuperMoses, on 12/14/2007, -0/+16I don't even want to know how many cases there are against Iraqi citizens
- jaymzdean, on 12/14/2007, -2/+17The U.S. government and it's corporate sponsors must be stopped or else you're going to end up paying for their sins.
- sestalker, on 12/14/2007, -0/+15Am I the only one that feels like something radical needs to happen? When I say radical I mean Fight Club, V for Vendetta, Etc. Civil disobedience for sure. And certainly without a doubt if the elections turn up like sour milk again.
- rolosworld, on 12/14/2007, -1/+10what videos? their talking about the raping of Jamie Leigh Jones! not about abu
- pintomp3, on 12/14/2007, -0/+9they've already been deployed in the states, in new orleans. there is no disaster that corporations cannot profit from.
- rz8472, on 12/14/2007, -1/+10Hey just because O'Reilly defended the Nazis for war crimes in Malmedy and the Japanese Empire for waterboarding doesn't mean he won't treat this incident with the utmost respect.
(Wow, I couldn't type that out with a straight face) - netant, on 12/14/2007, -0/+91) Where has it been reported, you duplicitious sack of excrement, that she has changed here story a couple of times?
2) How is it that she can be lying, when it took a congressman and state department officials to literally extricate her from the shipping container? - rz8472, on 12/14/2007, -2/+10Bush will veto any law that results from this because he's a petulant child only interested in protecting his own interests.
That, and I wouldn't be surprised if Minority Leader Mitch "It's OK that our troops are dying over there because they're professionals" McConnell filibustered. - pintomp3, on 12/14/2007, -2/+10but privatization solves everything! how could milton friedman be wrong?
- hardwickj, on 12/14/2007, -5/+12You are ignorant and a fool. I have been against this war from the start, but I also am prior military. Thanks to that, I can reassure you that while there may be an extremely small percentage of reckless, criminal types in the military who are deployed in Iraq, many of them would just as soon do this sort of thing back home as they would over there. The only difference is when it happens here, it rarely makes the news.
These same people exist out in the commercial world as well. They are scum, there is no denying it. But do not be so ignorant as to pretend that everyone in the military is one of these people.
From my numerous friends in the military and formerly myself, I can also tell you that one of the primary reasons soldiers go on over (outside of being ORDERED to go, which gives you little or no choice and is by far the largest reason any soldier goes over) is for the money. Many soldiers in the military barely make enough to get by, but by deploying to a high risk zone such as the middle east, their pay can be effectively doubled or tripled thanks to the numerous pay incentives given for such regions.
For some soldiers, as much as many of them actually hate being there, it is their only means of "getting ahead".
So in response to your inexcusably ignorant and false comment, we can and should expect our soldiers overseas to represent our country in the best way possible. Unfortunately, just like back here at home, not everyone is willing or capable of doing so, and it gets noticed far more over there.
As for the contractors, I can't say the same. Many are companies who are being handed contracts by our government for little or no bidding/competition. Many of these companies actually do little or nothing to ensure their employees "behave appropriately." And in virtually all cases, the employees choose to go (they are not ordered to go by the military) and they choose to go for one reason, BIG $$$. It's a sad world when the contractor emptying out the local sewer or driving a semi-trailer gets paid significantly more than the numerous soldiers risking their lives to escort him/her. - Foxcow, on 12/14/2007, -2/+9The only reason that this has gotten any attention is because it was a white american woman.
- sabaoth, on 12/14/2007, -1/+7This is sad. I'm glad my country don't go to war often... I mean, never.
- fromonesource, on 12/14/2007, -3/+9You should all watch the movie Endgame. There is a reason these groups are not apologetic for the human suffering they cause.
http://torrents.thepiratebay.org/3883485/EndGame-B ... - pintomp3, on 12/14/2007, -1/+7that's ok. limbaugh will call her a phony victim.
- Dukeye, on 12/14/2007, -1/+6Believe me, a lot of us want to. We're working on it...despite stolen elections, controlled media/propaganda, Congress (except a select few) controlled and inept, we are waking up our friends and family, supporting freedom candidates, and spreading info through the internet. By the way, with the SPP a reality, you 'nucks are in this too...unless you want to use the amero for currency?
- theelectricafro, on 12/14/2007, -0/+4This is what happens when you start hiring illegal aliens and aggrivated fellons for your military. It is bad enough that you send soldiers with good intentions into an evil war, but when you send soldiers with a history of violence what do you expect?
BTW HIPHOC is right about the kidnapping corporations. Spend two minutes google searching it and grab a bucket to throw up in. - Gunsdead, on 12/14/2007, -0/+4Sadly, I believe you are correct
- netant, on 12/14/2007, -0/+3The corporation won't tolerate it.
1) Its bad for morale, therefore bad for recruiting.
2) If they overlook the peer frag, they may have to worry about managerial fragging. - Logicexe, on 12/14/2007, -2/+5Free Markets solve EVERYTHING!!! Free Markets solve EVERYTHING!!! Free Markets solve EVERYTHING!!!
If you repeat it enough it starts to become true! - cocreator10, on 12/14/2007, -1/+4Yes
- Observant1, on 12/14/2007, -1/+4the movie is given freely by the producer who SAYS make copies and hand them out. it is free to watch on youtube and google video as well. so much for your idea of "theft".
- Dukeye, on 12/14/2007, -0/+3It will be interesting to see what comes of this, since these contractors are in foggy legal territory. If they aren't held liable for the deaths of innocent Iraqis, how will they be held accountable for this? This may actually be a new low for the military-industrial complex.
- Logicexe, on 12/14/2007, -0/+3Time to spread some Democracy!
- aurorion, on 12/14/2007, -0/+3I don't think being casualties of war is punishment enough for them. If they die in war they will be probably remembered as martyrs who fought and died for USA.
I hope their identities are made public though. It would be nice to see what their American neighbors do to them. - joper90, on 12/14/2007, -0/+3where does your mum live again?
- slantyeyed, on 12/14/2007, -0/+3It's a finicky bunch here. One minute Lou Dobbs is Satan, the next, he's actually participating in good journalism?
- Yage2006, on 12/14/2007, -1/+4Ya there is something people can do . Form a mob and go the the KBR HQ and burn the frick'n place to the ground.
- LeeSharpe, on 12/14/2007, -0/+3Here's hoping the dishonourable bastards responsible for raping this woman became casualties of the war. After all, it's pretty unlikely they'll ever face trial. Contractors don't fall under Iraqi jurisdiction and after reading this article and Jamie's homepage it doesn't sound like much evidence remains.
- zegneverx, on 12/14/2007, -0/+2I believe people should stop categorizing themselves as being countrymen. I don't care what country you are from. Look at the facts, and judge the situation based on what you know. We are all people. I am sympathetic of anyone who is mistreated.
- chan0429, on 12/14/2007, -1/+3Horrible, but I can't stop laughing. That's so bad. We're horrible human beings.
- buckrogers1965, on 12/14/2007, -0/+2The good news is if any contractors know any filthy rapists then they are covered by the same loophole if they frag the bastard just before they come home.
- tsotha, on 12/14/2007, -0/+2Doesn't Canada have oil? Hmmm.
- unfilterthought, on 12/14/2007, -0/+2Careful...they probably are monitoring you now.
- f54280, on 12/14/2007, -0/+2Learn to read, lesson 1:
READ THE ARTICLE FULLY
"According to ABC’s Justin Rood, Nelson also sent a letter to Defense Secretary Gates describing “recent reports that at least two women who worked in Iraq under contractors for the Department of Defense were sexually assaulted by male coworkers.”" - aurorion, on 12/14/2007, -0/+2Yep... The people at the receiving end of Bush's policies are going to really hate all Americans, for not speaking out enough against Bush, for not voting him out of power, and perhaps most of all, for paying taxes that contribute to all the actions of the Bush administration.
The one thing Bush has succeeded in doing is making USA the most hated nation in the world, and creating a generation of suicide bombers and terrorists, who hate America and wish all Americans no good. - Herostratus, on 12/14/2007, -1/+3When will the masses lose their apathy and take to the streets with torches and pitchforks
- thecatcantalk, on 12/15/2007, -0/+2He just moans louder, thinks that makes him the majority. Bastard hogs the men's room for hours.
- thecatcantalk, on 12/15/2007, -0/+1Careful...BushCo. now has an honest-to-God secret police force which is allowed to disappear any U.S. citizen down the Memory Hole, at any time, anywhere, for any reason, on the President's say-so. And they probably ARE monitoring you now. That's why the TSA keeps detaining air travellers whom are U.S. Congressmen ( e.g., Rep. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., 5 times last year), retired generals, active-duty soldiers returning from leave, little old ladies; it's not incompetence, it's supposed to scare the hell out of us. If you really believe you're being spied on by fanatical whackjobs in uniform, then you'll be too scared to stand up to the bastards...which is what they're counting on.
- inactive, on 12/14/2007, -8/+9You're advocating the theft of that movie.
- Lilitou, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1Not to mention, of course there "wasn't enough evidence". Her rape kit "mysteriously" disappeared.
- aurorion, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1CNN and Fox do the same, so why not Diggers?
- boflaade, on 12/15/2007, -0/+1What country?
- rmd34, on 12/15/2007, -0/+1I don't mean this to be offensive... but your country must not have anything of value or some kind of super alien technology that keeps everyone else at bay.
- thecatcantalk, on 12/15/2007, -0/+1Dude, that's incitement to riot. Think about what you're saying.
