Physically. Emotionally. Broken.

Jamie Leigh Jones worked in Iraq. Not the ideal setting I suppose due to the intense war ravaging the country. Conceivably, one would feel a little more at ease within the company of one’s own country[wo]men. Conceivably.

Jamie Leigh Jones was raped. In a foreign country. She was locked up by her employer for twenty-four hours. No food and no water. Jones was then warned that if she left Iraq for medical treatment she would be out of a job. Let go. Dismissed. Sacked. Relieved. Discharged. Fired.

Unthoughtful loopholes place contractors in Iraq beyond the reach of US law and so Jones does not have the opportunity to seek justice. Is justice blind in this case? Ignorant? Or held hostage by Corporate America? Oh, all of the above you say.

Corporate America has done its part to wreak havoc in Iraq. Halliburton and Kellogg, Brown and Root (KBR) are so implicated with creating instability in Iraq. They have blood on their hands. And they are complicit to the rape of Jamie Leigh Jones.
