How is KBR still getting military contracts

See here. The money quote is "Jamie Leigh Jones, now 22, says that after she was raped by multiple men at a KBR camp in the Green Zone, the company put her under guard in a shipping container with a bed and warned her that if she left Iraq for medical treatment, she'd be out of a job."

The fact that this occurred over a year ago and is just now getting face time with the Senate is absolutely appalling. If KBR is guilty of the imprisonment and assault, they should get the book thrown at them. But, of course they wont, because their Daddy Company, Haliburton, has some friends in pretty high places.

40+ other women have come forward about similar accusations with KBR and Haliburton. A "Lisa Smith" is schedule to testify before the Senate tomorrow about what happened to her.

If KBR / Haliburton are held responsible, they should get the mother fuckin book thrown at them Samual L. Jackson style. But, a little known fact, is that American Contractors generally operate with immunity from their actions in IRAQ, so I do not think that will happen. Money quote, "It's very troubling," said Dean John Hutson of the Franklin Pierce Law Center. "The way the law presently stands, I would say that they don't have, at least in the criminal system, the opportunity for justice." What the fuck is up with that bullshit. I hope, if these allegations are true, she takes KBR for everything that they are worth.
