The guys probably got overtime pay for it from KBR. Those companies are frightening and the fact that this Admin continues to give them no-bid contracts, well, there IS something very wrong here.

ABC News

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.

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

I cannot believe the ever-lowering standards of conduct put forth by this administration. We're "bringing democracy" to the Middle East, and we permit untried barbarism by our contractors. KBR = kill burn rape.

Strangely, the next compassionate conservative to attempt a run on the Republican ticket is also a friend to rapists and murderers. It makes me wonder about our country that they keep getting elected into public office.

This is the division that is building our FEMA 'Rest & Relocation' camps. Pales in comparison to what DynCorp did within Bosnia and Herzegovina: http://www.hrw.org/reports/2002/bosnia/Bosnia1102-11.htm
