KBR/Halliburton Rapeland Fest Interrupted by Scrutiny. Again.

Congress is asking questions about another ex-employee of government contracting firm KBR who claims she was raped in Iraq.
Letters to the Pentagon and the Justice Department today from Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla. underscore congressional concern about a second alleged assault, this time of a woman from Florida who reportedly worked for a KBR subsidiary in Ramadi, Iraq in 2005.
SO it takes two women from Murka being raped before our government pretends to begin caring about violation of human beings. Should we guess how many Iraqi women have been raped? No, let's not do that. No matter how you slice this, I am witnessing a horror event writ huge, so huge, upon the sky and the mountains and temple walls and miles of sand and green zone and lakes of blood, all washing over history books not written yet, all washing away pride and hope and staining our national identity for lifetimes to come...and I feel helpless to see it. Oh, if I could only form my own private "mercenary" outfit, if only I were rich enough to fund them as they traveled to Iraq to protect las mujeres there. It sounds crazy, eh? Ridiculous, and yet I mean every word. Let's do it, let's have a clash of the War Beasts. You all trying to profit off of human pain, and me and my army there to squash you before you can hurt any more people.
Ah, such noble fantasies. Short lived and hardly satisfying. Guess I'll bang away at this keyboard in the meanwhile. Drink my organic milk. Smell freedom on that march. Mmmmm.
Hunh. Dunno. Smells like gasoline to me.

i wish there was another way. but the powers that exist now do insist on battle, they dont know or understand peace or the thought of it. to them it is a hostile word. can you imagine? this world just amazes me. peace as a hostile word. in a way, i cant wait to leave this place. it too often offends me deeply.

Did anyone expect anything more? War is rape on a good day. You are creating a region of lawlessness and, as such, women will be the ones to pay the greatest price for war. This is how it always works.
Of course, the Iraq war has gone above and beyond by creating a region of lawlessness in the military itself, deliberately. It is no different than handing a gun to a felon. This was bound to happen. Like everything else the right wing does, culpability is a function of wealth, not guilt.
