Freeper Solid Wood said the story was "BS."
Freeper AU72 asked if "Blackwater held her down."
Freeper Perdogg said "Cheney and Rove filmed it."
Freeper Keith said "the film would be done by Michael Moore."
Freeper Bryan24 (to whom I first responded) Raised essentially the same question I did and reached a similar conclusion by inference. I was a little bit more specific.
Freeper subterfuge questioned the rape at post 27 and at post #32 (right before mine) said what I said in essence when he observed an attractive 20 year old woman should NOT be in Baghdad.

Are all these folks "dirtbags," too? I suspect the line I had about "getting too many tips and thus objecting to a small tip" is what touched nerves. I'm a writer and I thought it was a "cute turn of the phrase." Obviously not, given the responses. In retrospect it was probably a bit much and I'm sure that her parents would be aghast as would I were it my daughter being discussed.

I'd have to say that on reflection I shot from the lip and indeed should wait for more details to be revealed on the case. Therefore I stand corrected.

However I continue to question the wisdom of an attractive young woman being allowed to place herself in that most dangerous corner of the world. Again, I have to wonder what skills (real professional skills) a 20 year old has to offer and what experience she brings to the table that would lead a corporation to believe she wouldn't be anything more than a lawsuit in waiting for her innate ability to remain safe under such circumstances? Unless the company can verify and document a whole range of classes taught by experts (Blackwater comes to mind) on how to avoid being victimized in a combat zone, I'd say that KBR should face some legal consequences.
