Just a few years after humiliating themselves over the Duke lacrosse case, it's nice to see the media weren't the least bit hesitant about leaping on another ludicrous rape claim.
Perhaps liberals were slipped Rohypnol, and that's why they can't remember that not every woman claiming she was raped is always telling the truth.

Her claim that KBR management had held her at gunpoint in a shipping container vanished when it turned out she had only remembered that part of the story two years after it supposedly happened (coincidentally, just as the media frenzy began).Ann Coulter NYT2
Perhaps the Rohypnol made her forget something else: KBR employees, including security guards, don't even carry guns, much less machine guns.
Come on, Ann - please check your copy before posting stuff. Headline check - what the heck does Iran have to do with the case she is discussing, which is about contractors in Iraq....????
Hello.
? I guess it’s supposed to be Iraq, not Iran
Ann Coulter makes the point that the media were on this story like fleas on a dog because it involved KBR, a subsidiary of Halliburton. A corporation with a past connection to former V.P. Cheney, making them (and any subsidiary) a target of the leftmedia. The woman eventually was proven to have made the whole thing up and no criminal charges were ever brought against anyone. Those facts were basically ignored and the ‘story’ abandoned by the MSM. Same old, same old but kudos to Ann for at least allowing the whole sordid mess to see the light of day, even if only for a moment.
Why is Ann pushing this story without leading that a jury said her claims were bogus?
“The trial began in the Southern District of Texas on June 14, 2011.[21] Jones’s attorney argued that KBR had known about widespread sexual harassment but had ignored it because the remedy was too expensive. The defense argued that Jones fabricated her story of being drugged and raped because she was embarrassed about the consensual sex and wanted to get out of her year-long contract with KBR three days after she arrived.[6][22]
Jones’s first attending physician testified that Jones had not suffered damage to her breast implants or chest during the alleged attack. The prosecution also brought out that on two prior occasions Jones had reported being raped and that she had taken medication for anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder.[23]
On July 8, the jury returned a verdict that rejected all of Jones claims, finding that the sex between Jones and the employee was consensual[4][6] (and therefore no rape had occurred),[7][8][9] and that KBR did not defraud her.[6][5][7]
Jones said, “I just thought that the physical evidence would help. I guess the fact that my entire life was on display and (his) wasn’t” made a difference.[24]
Bolen, a KBR spokeswoman, said, “The outcome of this jury trial as judged by her peers is the same result that the State Department got in 2005; that the Justice Department found in 2008. We are deeply gratified that the justice system has worked.” (Wiki)
Maybe a picture of Chris Christie came on her TV and she swooned over to Iran?

<< How do you go from total amnesia to deciding that you were the star of your own Lifetime made-for-TV movie? I don’t remember offhand what I was doing last Tuesday, but this does not automatically lead me to assume I was gang-raped. >>
Made me laugh.
And, I do appreciate AC taking time to point out what lying frauds MSM are when their anti/conservative agenda is being served.
Let me know if you'd like to be added to the Ann Coulter ping list.
Go Annie! Lucky for us she sticks to stories to find out the real truth rather than the Lame Stream Media who would champion the little boy who cried wolf as long as the supposed wolf was Christian, Conservative, Republican or Military.

Either that, or the entire "objective journalism" claim of the value of journalism as we know it is a scam - and the actual business model of the Borg consisting of Associated Press journalism and "liberal" politicians" is to give the public the mushroom treatment (i.e., to keep us in the dark and feed us horse manure).
History starts fresh every day for liberals. Must be peaceful to have such a “free” mind.
Where’s that clown Al Franken now?
