Halliburton Covers Up Gang Rape
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.
“Don’t plan on working back in Iraq. There won’t be a position here, and there won’t be a position in Houston,” Jones says she was told.
In a lawsuit filed in federal court against Halliburton and its then-subsidiary KBR, Jones says she was held in the shipping container for at least 24 hours without food or water by KBR, which posted armed security guards outside her door, who would not let her leave.
If there is one crime I have no patience with, it is rape. I can understand murder, both as crime of passion and “just business”. I can see how domestic violence gets started. I know why people steal or deal drugs or do any number of crimes. Rape, in allits forms, is the worst, the absolute worst.
The people who did this deserve eye-for-an-eye type retribution, and that’s not something I endorse lightly. If I had my druthers, the perpetrators would be chained to a table or a chair, and Ms. Jones would be given any number of choice implements, ranging from power tools to rusty fishhooks to catheters soaked in battery acid to jumper cables with a fully charged battery to needle nose pliers. She would be given as much time as she wanted to violate those who violated her. After that, dump what’s left of the bodies in the worst prison in the US.
Jamie Leigh Jones is one tough woman though: not only is she willing to publicly stand up to these walking piles of shit, she’s set up a foundation to help other victims. If you have a couple of bucks, I think this foundation is a lot more worthy of your hard-earned dollars than anyone running for public office.
