Victim: Gang-Rape Cover-Up by U.S., Halliburton/KBR

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.

[ExSoldier]

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

Gimme a break, dude. I teach that age group (approx). 20 years old? What's her skill and level of experience that negates the innate risk? If she's a real KBR employee they're running a huge liability based on her gender and age. Don't worry about it. Heck, there've been camp followers since the days of the Roman Empire. I wouldn't put it past some of the big corporations to employ such professionals as an "on the job" perk to the real risk takers. Hey, I'll bet she's raking in more than the guys.

How can a set of doctors notes go missing as there is usually more then one copy. There is the original and if handed off to the contractor the copies. That in and of itself is not right. I will definately check out her website. Thanks for the information.

[McGruff]

When I first saw this story I thought is it sweeps week again?

[rmlew]

Actually, I believe that the Bush administration would cover up a crime if it was commited by Iraqis necessary for oil. The ROP is sacred, Iraqi allies must never be questioned, and CAIR etc are FBI friends, not terrorist enablers.

” In this day and age (think Duke) and with the MSM always trying to take down Haliburton”

I doubt that $100,000 is going to “take down” Haliburton.

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

Earning a living?

Just a guess. What’s your point?

[GOP Poet]

Thanks Perdogg. Guess if it is found to be true, she can take other action elsewhere possibly. And of course if it is true we all know there will be the book deal and big Hollywood deal. So in the end if it is true she will get her day as they say.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

From her foundation website:”The rape kit was missing then recovered, yet the photos and doctor’s notes remain missing”

[GOP Poet]

I was not talking about her taking down Haliburton. I was saying that the MSM is always trying to take down Haliburton as if it was the Third Reich.

[ovrtaxt]

That’s a very interesting point. Cynical as hell, but interesting nonetheless.

[dschapin]

Or perhaps people like her are hired because they are young and don’t yet have families so they are more willing to be shipped off to a foreign country. Its her right to decide to take the extra risk and it is wrong to assume that she had bad intentions simply because she was young and decided to go to Iraq. Like I said earlier, I know a young women - a young lady of impeccable morals - who went to work for the provisional authority right out of college.

I read the account and it looks pretty damning and it is a republican congressman who is calling for action here.

I agree. Why is she only asking $100,000. I would award her $100 million. Halliburton can afford it. And the perps should be executed.

[Dengar01]

I don't know why so many FReepers are so willing to defend Halliburton at any cost. What has Halliburton done for you? Have they put food on your table?

Is Congressman Poe a liar?

Is the army personel lying?

I think many of you haven't read the story, there are many credible witnesses here. A GOP Congressman and army personel seem pretty credible to me.

[MEGoody]

I am more than a little suspicious.

Ditto.

[Panzerlied]

“Jones, who told her story to ABC News as part of an upcoming “20/20” investigation, said an examination by Army doctors after the incident showed she had been raped “both vaginally and anally,” but that the rape kit disappeared after it was handed over to KBR security officers. (ABC News)”

That set off my BS alarm. Any FReepers familiar with Military Forensics and procedures in this case?

[VeniVidiVici]

Victim: Gang-Rape Cover-Up by U.S., Halliburton/KBR

I'm sure.

[SevenofNine]

NOt allowing rape kit that turn out be true Halitronn has lots of explaining to do

That just wrong

[MEGoody]

If something happened to me like this at a company you can bet I would be asking for a very large pay check.

I wouldn't want money. I'd want the perps and their assistants in prison for a very long time.
