tampa woman raped by halliburton coworkers?
Jamie Leigh Jones of Houston filed a federal lawsuit in May against Halliburton Co., its former subsidiary, KBR Inc., and others claiming she was raped by co-workers while working for a Halliburton subsidiary at Camp Hope, Baghdad, in 2005. On the heels of a congressional inquiry into the handling of that case, another inquiry is made by Senator Bill Nelson into a second victim, this one from Tampa.
In the Florida woman’s lawsuit, filed earlier this year and now in arbitration, she alleges she was raped by a drunken male KBR coworker in Ramadi. But federal authorities have failed to file charges in the two years since then, a contention about federal foot-dragging that mirrors a charge also leveled by the Texas woman.
Two years, and files are still not charged charges are still not filed? Is this “foot-dragging” or a cover up? AND Bill Nelson thinks there may be more victims.
Pushing Rope’s Michael Hussey wants your Department of Defense to come clean, and plans to keep us updated as the story unfolds.

A charged file? Like with a couple of 12=volts and some jumper cables? Sounds worse than waterboarding to me. I think you meant charges are still not filed.

Deeply disturbing.

Regardless, this SECOND story isn’t gaining traction nationally like the first one that came out this week.
