I hope you didn't miss this

Albert Stanley, appointed to run KBR by none other than current US Vice President (and non-hockey mom) "I'm a Big" Dick Cheney whilst Cheney was running Halliburton, has pleaded guilty to paying millions in bribes to win contracts for KBR. Fortunately, with influential friends in the White House the bribes are no longer necessary and the contracts just keep pouring in!

"I'm a Big" Dick Cheney's old firm dragged into court over rape

Former Halliburton/KBR staffer Jamie Leigh Jones has been granted leave to sue her former employer over her alleged gang rape in her quarters in Baghdad. Although there was a clause in her contract that drives any conflicts to arbitration the judge held that her living quarters were not part of her "workplace" and therefore not covered by her employment agreement.

I am sure that this is just an oversight

Captain Codpiece's administration has always been so responsive to any suggestions of incompetence, corruption or criminality in areas under its control I am sure that the sluggishness with which they seem to (not) be responding to the allegations of rape and/or sexual assault by US contractors in Iraq is just because of the hectic nature of the holiday season. I am certain that they will put it right in the new year!

Your tax dollars at work

Protecting rapists. What not send these evil doers, without benefit of a trail, to the Guantánamo Bay Beach and Leisure Club or some other appropriate leisure facility? (Note: I don't really mean that. They should of course be given a fair trial. Any and all government employees or contractors who were responsible in any way for breaking the chain of evidence and turning it over to KBR should and must be held accountable. They should pay at least with the loss of their job and preferably criminally for obstruction of justice.
