Solving the Problem of Rape, KBR-Style

Posted by Jeff Fecke | August 5th, 2008

You almost certainly remember the case of Jamie Leigh Jones, a KBR/Halliburton employee who was raped and imprisoned in Iraq, and only escaped because a sympathetic guard loaned her a cell phone that allowed her to call for help.

Well, KBR has looked at the situation, and they’ve decided to take action. No, not by protecting women from sexual assault — the very idea! No, they’ve decided to ban cell phone use among their contractors in Iraq.

Each time I think we’ve hit the floor, someone starts digging deeper.
