Updated: 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.

UPDATE

From Jamie Leigh Jones' Journal
http://www.jamiesfoundation.org/Jamie.htm

In regards to the missing pictures and doctor's notes that were taken in Baghdad Lynn Falanga and I both called the doctor that performed the rape kit. The doctor stated to both of us that "I have no idea which rape victim you are because so many young contractor girls were raped after drinking with the guys" she also stated that "I performed so many rape kits in the six months that I was stationed there that there would be no way to recall whom yours was."

5. Human rights....
..part of the worldwide problem of violence against women.

I'm not surprised. There is a LOT that goes on that simply is never mentioned or publicized. Why?

It's not IMPORTANT....

WOMEN AREN'T HUMAN.
