A Houston, Texas woman says she was gang-raped by Halliburton/KBR coworkers in Baghdad, and the company and the U.S. government are covering up the incident.

Gang-rape cover-ups?

Being a woman working as a contractor in Iraq.

[Madame Dufarge]

This story has a stink of biblical proportions.

[weegee]

That was ‘just sex’ but THIS was a contracting corporation on foreign soil!

[CholeraJoe]

What was a 20 year-old woman doing working IN IRAQ as a contractor?

Why don't you ask Allegra? She's been working in Iraq as a contractor for quite a while now.

WTF man? Not every woman who’s attractive is lacking in moral fiber.

Full disclosure:

The link from which JerseyHighlander is cutting and pasting is a Soros-funded website whose main purpose is advocating globalism and badmouthing America.

[dschapin]

You may well be right on that. However, that doesn’t change the fact that some have gone and they expect to have to look out for the Iraqi’s - not their own coworkers.

[GOP Poet]

That did not make any sense to me either. If the Army did the rape kit, they would never turn that over to the private contractor’s company that is being accused and not leave some sort of clear record evidence for themselves. If they did do the rape kit and handed it over there would be distinct records, dates, notes, etc. So we will see. Doesn’t make any sense if they discovered her story was true and had the evidence to prove it that they would just give this stuff away and not take it very seriously.

You guys are being idiots. Unless you can give actual specifics to why you have “doubts”, then you are nothing but knee jerk sexists. I read the account and it looks pretty damning and it is a republican congressman who is calling for action here.

A book deal? What about the movie deal.

Scarlett Johannsen for the lead. Fred Thompson can play Dick Cheney. And Michael Moore can play the barrel.

[Constantine XIII]

Allegra has spent a substantial amount of time in Iraq.

Enron, Halliburton, GE, Ford,
Emptying the shelves at the company store...
Who lied (who lied?)
Who died (who died?)
Who pays (who pays?)
Who profi-its.

I’ll reserve judgement until I see how much evidence is produced. Even if, as the article said, there is a missing rape kit, there was still a PA that administered it and a technician that processed it. No gang rape is without witnesses.

[samtheman]

Things are going to good in Iraq for the media’s taste. They need SOMETHING. Looks like they cooked something up here to take the good news off the front page.

[vpintheak]

Sorry folks, I’m not buying off on this one.

[weegee]

I don’t even consider the story to be “beyond the pale” in terms of believability. I do find ABC’s choice to highlight it suspect.

There are sex slaves within the US (tens of thousands) but the issue gets no attention.

It seems like a readymade bit of outrage.

Think that ABC will ask Hillary about her husband’s accused rapes?

[TheDon]

Sniff, sniff......I’m smelling a Rat operation.

There goes my I-heart-Halliburton bumper sticker.

KBR has moved for Jones' claim to be heard in private arbitration, instead of a public courtroom. It says her employment contract requires it.

 

She was employed by KBR
