Had it been GM/Ford employees, the episode wouldn't matter. The woman's pain and suffering wouldn't matter. Add Haliburton to the mix now she's a victim. Now she can matter.
Politics suck, so do rapist of any stripe.

Why would KBR investigators receive the rape kit instead of the police?

Very very good question.

I posted snippets of page 1 of the story. There is much more than what I posted. Click the link, read the story, then form your opinion.

Is the Republican Congressman lying? Why did a detail from the US Embassy find her under armed guard in a shipping container? If it were GM or Ford she could have contacted the police, unfortunately she worked for "the authorities" in Baghdad, KBR.

Legal experts say Jones' alleged assailants will likely never face a judge and jury, due to an enormous loophole that has effectively left contractors in Iraq beyond the reach of United States law.

I wonder who designed the loophole? This thing stinks to high heaven.

We turn down Haliburton.. they do not pay their bills.

what about iraqi law?

i presume rape is illegal in iraq, and these are civilian contractors and this did happen in iraq, right

if the iraqi government is so lame and toady that it hasn't got the authority to bring to trial foreign civilians suspected of crimes in iraq then mickey mouse is a long way from disneyland

what I don't understand is that they are still subject to LOAC (law of armed conflict).  ALL US citizens in a war zone are subject to this.

If the companies employees commit a rape while on the job and the company knows about it, then didn't the company really commit rape?

Rape, kidnapping, coverup... Yeah, they are a great outfit.I hope this young woman gets justice.

Do you mean a rush to judgment?

I hope that justice is done in this situation....whichever side turns out to deserve it.

Of course, I have an open mind and simply want the truth, not whatever is convenient for my political axe-grinding.

the company knew about it?  you mean someone in the company knew about it right?

I  do not know if they did, but what I meant was if management of any kind knew.

I find it odd that she said they told her if she left to seek medical teatment she would lose her job. IF she was raped I doubt she would be so worried about keeping her job.

I'm having a some doubt about her accusations.
