Human trafficking in Iraq?

Did contractors working on the palatial US Embassy in Baghdad engage in human trafficking to provide themselves with labour? John Owens and Rory J. Mayberry, two former employees of First Kuwaiti - a US contractor, have testified before Congress that they may have.



Fortunately the US State Department assures us that these two men are just fantasists or, at the very least, no one in the US government has any recollection of anything, ever.

In any case I am sure that these alleged incidents took place before the US signed up to the human trafficking protocol.
