Amen! Congress has forsaken it’s sworn duty. Lies were given to the American people and to congress to get us to this point. A true resolve to Iraq cannot happen samsung q25 battery,samsung np-x1 battery without this being adjudicated. It isn’t just spilt milk as some would imply. It goes to the very foundation of our Constitution, and to that end our future credibility and as such our national security.

The DOJ was against prosecution of KBR rape BEFORE they were for it.

.

Congressional sources, however, said two alleged rape victims, both former KBR employees who worked for the firm in Iraq, will be testifying about their experiences. Smith, the subject of a recent article, claims she was raped as recently as January.
Over the next few weeks Smith would be told to keep quiet about the incident by a KBR supervisor. The camp’s military liaison officer also told her not to speak about what had happened, she says. And she would follow these instructions. “Because then, all of a sudden, if you’ve done exactly what you’ve been instructed not to do–tell somebody–then you’re in danger,” Smith says.

What Smith and Jamie Jones have both been subjected to is beyond criminal. If all of these men do not rot for the rest of their natural born lives in jail, something is seriously wrong with our justice system. (not a chance in hell of parole)

I hope they are treated as BRUTALLY in prison on a daily basis as they have treated these two women.

After a gang-rape, there is nothing worse they can possibly do to her, and it might save a few other women from being drugged and raped by bosses and comrades-in-arms.

There are times when you have to stand up and protest. If there is no law, and no justice, you have to make it. If the only law the bastards understand is the gun, that is what you have to use. It will get their attention in a way that stern letters from congress-critters fail to do. After Blackwater’s contract was renewed despite murderous rampages, it sent a message that contractors are indeed unpunishable and beyond the reach of law.

If women don’t respect themselves enough to take action against the men who hurt them, the pain will only continue. Even the biggest, meanest, ugliest man has to sleep sometime.

After 3-4 soldiers/contractors get blasted in the crotch, and bleed to death, somebody in charge will determine that female contractors do fall under the protection of the law and that laws against rape and murder do apply even in a war zone. It has to stop.

Actually, Congress has a way out and always has had a way out. All they need to do is to refuse to fund the contractors. No one can say they aren’t supporting the troops by refusing to pay the contractors. There’s no way Bush can keep up the occupation of Iraq without the contractors to back up our military.

This is truly sick and needs to stop.

Broom meet rug. ????? either way, you get the picture.

I grew up in PB, but have been squuezed out of every beach community save OB by rising housing prices.

Serra Mesa? I’ve got a friend that lives just off Murray Ridge.

Bring the troops home today…and the contractors too. Then start an investigation into the lies that led to this war. Put the entire investigation and trial on tv for the world to see. Then convict and imprison all those involved.

Then pay damages to the citizens of Iraq for the damage we’ve done. And make sure the soldiers have all their healthcare needs met.

This is the ONLY way to resolve this tragedy and gain a degree of respect back from the rest of the world.

Anything else will only make the situation worse and delay the inevitable. If these crimes are allowed to pass into history the karma will follow this country and come back to hurt us in a far far more terrible manner. You can’t run from your crimes.

My brother in law calls them “See you next Tuesdays.” He’ll probably vote McSame. Sigh.

I thought the most depressing thing was that due to the poor economy and the family’s need for health insurance, she has no choince but to go back to the scene of her assault to work.
