may have been Blackwater that rescued her from the container.

That would be too rich!

I call NON-BS. As I read other sources, sounds like she should have plenty of witnesses, including Congressman Poe (R), who helped her father get her rescued. Sounds like some heads are gonna roll on this one.

What horror if true.

I guess Kennedys and Clintons raping women is acceptable though to demcocrats and the MSM.

There are young women who do work in Iraq as civilian contractors. One of the young ladies from my alma mater worked for the provisional authority in Iraq after graduation. As to the reliability of the story - the thing that gives it the most credence in my mind is that the Congressman was originally contacted to help get her out of there and he obviously believes the story.

"There needs to be a voice out there that really pushed for change," she said. "I'd like to be that voice."

Doesn't sound like someone who has been raped.

That said, if true, heads should roll.

You gotta believe “Toothbrush” Poe.

He won his nickname because the common wisdom was that if you were guilty, you’d better take your toothbrush to court: you were going straight from there to jail.

He was also famous for his practical punishments. He would have people convicted of drunk driving stand on a busy street corner with a sign saying “this is one thing that happens when you drive drunk.” Or someone who abused a woman had to wear a sign at a public place, confessing their crime.

So, she wasn’t in the military. What was a 20 year-old woman doing working IN IRAQ as a contractor?

Well I was going to Iraq as an IT contractor and there was women going too

She was nonmilitary woman, 20 years old, in Iraq where laws of Sharia rules the nation, gang-raped, locked in a container and given a cell phone, where she’s found and released. This sounds like a book deal.

There were about a dozen Halliburton Dyncorp and other Western-payrolled contractors who were buying, selling, using and beating sex slaves in Kosovo and Bosnia for several years. --------------------- In several of these contracts, Dyncorp employees got involved in some very nasty activities, particularly within the sex trade. This happened both in the Kosovo operation and in the Bosnia operation, so in two separate contracts in two separate countries. Some of the things that they were doing was not just, you know, participating in prostitution, but actually some of the employees owned, so to speak, young women. And their Bosnia site supervisor, so very high up the chain, actually videotaped himself raping two young women. They were also involved in the illegal arms trade. So it was a lot of bad activities going on there that certainly didn't represent the US government well, given that these guys were there being paid for by US government funding. Now... GROSS: So what were the repercussions of that? Mr. SINGER: Well, this is where things get worse, and not just the individual contact, but the potential conduct of the company itself. Two employees of Dyncorp, one in Kosovo and one in Bosnia, not working together, were troubled or actually disgusted by the activities of their fellow employees, and they made it public and they reported on it. They blew the whistle. Both of those employees were subsequently terminated by the company. And the personnel who were actually participating in the crimes were pulled out of the countries, and none of them have ever been criminally prosecuted. The two employees who were the whistle-blowers then sued the firm for basically firing them for a bad reason. One of them won her case within England; it was run through an English subsidiary, so there was a case there. And then Dyncorp lost that case, and actually the tribunal that judged it found their argument for why they fired this woman to be completely unbelievable. In the second case, Dyncorp very quickly settled with this other employee who had blown the whistle and been fired. And so what's worrisome then is not just the conduct of the employees, but how the company responded to them.

I'm getting deja vu on this one - captors who lock her in a shipping carton, then lend her a cellphone to call her parents? I suppose we'll next be told that the accused attended Duke and played on the lacross team, prior to Halliburton recruiting them.
