Its disgusting that nothing has been done about this and that Halliburton would be so low as to allow this and think nothing of it.
Why are these companies being given support. I think that more should be done and these companies punished for being so layed back in protecting their female employees rather than there pockets.

“KBR is utterly unable to police itself. And the entire war machine has a vested interest in making sure that it stays that way.”

Why in the world is KBR allowed to police itself, anyway? I understand that there’s not exactly a well-established objective police force set up, but how could anyone expect an organization with a history of violence and corruption to reveal and properly handle its own violence and corruption? Madness.

Promisingly, Barack Obama was one of the seven congresspeople who demanded answers about KBR from the Justice Department back in January. At that time, the Justice Department refused to answer requests for information from congress. Obama's involvement gives me hope next year we might start seeing a new tune.
