You almost certainly remember the case of Jamie Leigh Jones, a KBR/Halliburton employee who was raped and imprisoned in Iraq, and only escaped because a sympathetic guard loaned her a cell phone that allowed her to call for help.
Well, KBR has looked at the situation, and they’ve decided to take action. No, not by protecting women from sexual assault — the very idea! No, they’ve decided to ban cell phone use among their contractors in Iraq.
Each time I think we’ve hit the floor, someone starts digging deeper.
That’s a pretty big jump in logic to arrive at that conclusion.
Jed,
If you haven’t been there and you are not a woman you do not have any clue about what lenghts KBR will go to to cover their tracks and stop information about their misconduct from leaving Iraq.
