Halliburton/KBR in rape coverup
Sickening.

Jamie Leigh Jones, now 22, says that after she was raped by multiple men at a KBR camp in the Green Zone, the company put her under guard in a shipping container with a bed and warned her that if she left Iraq for medical treatment, she'd be out of a job.

"Don't plan on working back in Iraq. There won't be a position here, and there won't be a position in Houston," Jones says she was told.

In a lawsuit filed in federal court against Halliburton and its then-subsidiary KBR, Jones says she was held in the shipping container for at least 24 hours without food or water by KBR, which posted armed security guards outside her door, who would not let her leave.

KBR is an arm of Halliburton that they use to perform all sorts of semi-illegal actions... its KBR that holds building contracts in Iran, even though American companies are banned from trade with Iran...

I think Im just dead inside now.
