Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT)

DADT may be on the way out.  Now if we could just get the military contractors out of our military.

Even Admiral Mullen agrees about DADT.

The Rape Over

The woman gets raped overseas, the company secludes her in a trailer, and then they call her a whore and refuse to let her story be told.  Merciless and barbaric if you ask me.  

KBR Calls Jamie Leigh Jones a Liar by Stephanie Mencimer.


Jamie Leigh Jones v. KBR (5th Circuit)

Open the Shut Case:  Why is KBR so afraid of letting Jamie Leigh Jones have her day in court? by Dahlia Lithwick.

Al Franken tries to close the loophole so that contractors can't rape their employees and then send them to arbitration.  The Obama Administration doesn't even support the Franken Amendment.  Something is wrong here.
