At least that is how somebody with their head up their arse might think. Abuse of this nature happens when those doing the abuse feel safe regarding their abusive ways. Lack of accountability has been the hallmark of the Bush administration since the day they stepped into office. Think not? What ever happened then to those that floated the false story that the Clinton's trashed Air Force One. He probably works for Fox News today.

That is, the State Department ? Bad enough the actions of KBR, but by not investigating it, it sounds like the govt of the USofA is complicit.

Saying “I divorce thee” three times, as men in Muslim countries have been able to do for centuries when leaving their wives, is not enough if you’re a resident of Maryland, the state’s highest court ruled yesterday.
Yesterday, the Court of Appeals rejected a Pakistani man’s argument that his invocation of the Islamic talaq, under which a marriage is dissolved simply by the husband’s say-so, allowed him to part with his wife of more than 20 years and deny her a share of his $2 million estate.
