FlaG8r, on 07/23/2008, -10/+4Has anyone ever been raped in a non-brutal fashion?
- masgaster, on 07/23/2008, -1/+3Yes.
imacommi, on 07/23/2008, -0/+17I really hope this company goes out of business. How does it makes sense that if I am in the office and so much as look at a girl the wrong way she can sue the ***** out of the firm; but when you get gang raped while working for KBR it's just business as usual. Somthign has to give...
- ZZeke, on 07/23/2008, -0/+5Well, this is the same company which is involved in the sex slave trade yet is still untouchable, so why should they give a ***** if their female employees get raped? As far as they're concerned, she's lucky it's not every day 5x a day.
  I also don't understand why we have to put up with the KBR moniker - it's all halliburton to begin with, the biggest criminal contractor in the world.
  I swear they moved to Dubai because they were afraid of getting burned to the ground by angry Americans with pitchforks.
JKap, on 07/23/2008, -2/+10Sorry to make everyone with a conscience sick to their stomachs. Looks like this may have been submitted before, but it bears repeating as the powerfully-staged photo-ops of O-bomb-a's dog and pony show to Iraq hit the propaganda matrix known as the Corporate Military-Industrial Government-Media.

Truzseeker, on 07/23/2008, -7/+2Don't want to say this but it must be said. Women should not serve in the armed forces, and if so their detail should be limited to areas of any collaboration. I am sure that there are many more unreported cases.

ordig, on 07/23/2008, -1/+5Rapists should be shot.
Fangsinmybeard, on 07/24/2008, -1/+4Rapist should be tortured with a pineapple grenade, pull the pin. Make sure to castrate before insertion of the grenade.
- Rabbit63, on 07/24/2008, -1/+1Death is just disposing of them and the punishment angle is foreshortened.
  
  I am a fan of castration and penis shortening.
  Cut their dick so short they can only ever piss with it again.
  
  Imagine having to live with that?
MarkEarhart, on 07/24/2008, -1/+4These two should be hanged by the same noose used to execute Saddam. All rapists and child molesters deserve death.
Cryptocracy, on 08/17/2008, -2/+3They should be locked in a room, forced to watch Obama speeches till blood comes out their ears.
- Hangly, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2Or they catch the Hope!
Hangly, on 07/24/2008, -0/+3It looks like civilization has come completely undone over there. Who knew we were that close to barbarism.
sicntired, on 07/24/2008, -0/+3There have been several similar stories from each of the private contractors and they all handle it the same way.They have you in a bad spot and they know it.When the women(no men so far)get home and report it the company's ask why they waited so long to report.This is just another example of why this war is a criminal act and the sooner there are trials and repercussions the better.
Dittz, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1holy S**t if this is wat they are doing to their own, i dont even want to imagine wat they are doing to the local girls. rot in hell.
