Cyrena, I heard or read a news bit yesterday that established legislation already places “contractors” under the jurisdiction of federal law.  May be under DoD oversight.  If that report was correct it makes this situation, and the other dancing about “contractors” by this administration really vile.

DOJ Shuns Hearing on Halliburton/KBR Rape Cases
  By Maddy Sauer

  Wednesday 19 December 2007
Former Halliburton/KBR employee recounts for Congress how she was gang-raped in Iraq.
  The Department of Justice refused to send a representative to answer questions from Congress today on the investigations into allegations of rape and sexual assault on female American contractors.
  “I’m embarrassed that the Department of Justice can’t even come forward,” said the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee John Conyers, D-Mich.
  “This is an absolute disgrace,” said Conyers. “The least we could do is have people from the Department of Justice and the Defense over here talking about how we’re going to straighten out the system right away.”…

The link leads to the rest of the piece if you’re interested. I’m not the least bit surprised, which makes me all the sicker.

Oh my, isn’t that Goofy Goodman’s dubious Mr.Dobbs whose name seems to be missing in this headline interviewing Rep.Poe?

They rape men, children, dogs, horses, cats, birds and fishes: as well as women of all ages and categories. You can’t “stay out of them places” if they are allowed to have bases in North Carolina, Illinois, San Diego and New Orleans. They are no better than the Identity Movement, the KKK or any such perverts, but the corporate dominated government needs them and will not sic the FBI, police or intelligence on them until we generate a massive and adamant public reaction. Also, Let’s close SOA/WHINSEC which trains many of these E.D. thugs. .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

Now you wouldn’t want to interfere with our mercenaries having a little fun would you?

Aside from the fact that these yahoo need to be bent over in the shower of every prison and jail in the country they have provided a metaphor for what the bushees have done to the country…;

Jaded Prole, you’re so right, and I sure couldn’t have said it better myself. It’s the culture, and the Judicial system supports it. The evidence is overwhelming, and goes back for eons.

Thing is, we have to keep in mind, (in addition to what 1drees5 said about this being the tip of the iceberg) that the military has been doing this in other countries for decades upon decades, and pretty much with total impunity.

I’m not suggesting that the US armed forces has perpetrated these rapes, (of the CIVILIAN women in whatever country they happen to be in and of course…we’re everywhere) to the SAME extent that Halliburton has, but only because the US military at least, does face at least the ‘potential’ of a court marshal, (though most times it doesn’t happen). But these guys, Halliburton, Blackwater, the like…they have NO - ZERO - ZIP concerns about anything even close to accountibility.

So, it’s just par for the course now. That is sooo sick.

Want to get laid want to kill people join the Exxon Mobil Haliburton Bush Rangers.Boy these religious zealots certainly have wide latitude under their Ten Commandments.I guess the Ten Commandments are suspended and you listen to commanders on the ground.
