Halliburton Now Facing Rape Lawsuit TrialPosted on May 11, 2008
For some time, it looked like former Halliburton/KBR employee Jamie Leigh Jones, who claims she was gang-raped by co-workers over two years ago in Baghdad’s Green Zone, would be forced by KBR into private arbitration proceedings (read: no public record, corporation often has upper hand). But finally, on Friday, five months after her story aired on ABC and sparked a congressional controversy, a Texas judge ruled that Jones could take her case to court—noting in his order that Jones’ bedroom in her Baghdad quarters shouldn’t technically be considered part of her “workplace.”

If this happened to some company with the most tenuous connection to George Sorros it would probably have all its government contacts yanked. Seriously, how do we let this company keep doing business?
