What do you think of the US/Halliburton/KBR Gang-Rape Cover-up?

Question: In ABC-News article titled "Victim: Gang-Rape Cover-Up by U.S., Halliburton/KBR", the sub-title is: "KBR Told Victim She Could Lose Her Job If She Sought Help After Being Raped, She Says". According to ABC-News: "A Houston, Texas woman says she was gang-raped by Halliburton/KBR coworkers in Baghdad. Jamie Leigh Jones, now 22, says that after she was raped by multiple men at a KBR camp in the Green Zone, the company put her under guard in a shipping container and warned her that if she left Iraq for medical treatment, she'd be out of a job. In a lawsuit filed in federal court against Halliburton and its then-subsidiary KBR, Jones says she was held in the shipping container for at least 24 hours without food or water by KBR, which posted armed security guards outside her door, who would not let her leave. Finally, Jones says, she convinced a sympathetic guard to loan her a cell phone so she could call her father in Texas. Her father called their congressman, Rep. Ted Poe, R-Tex" "We contacted the State Department first," Poe (alleged victim's father) told ABCNews.com, "and told them of the urgency of rescuing an American citizen" -- from her American employer. Poe says his office contacted the State Department, which quickly dispatched agents from the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad to Jones' camp, where they rescued her from the container. According to her lawsuit, Jones was raped by "several attackers who first drugged her, then repeatedly raped and injured her, both physically and emotionally." Jones told ABCNews.com that an examination by Army doctors showed she had been raped "both vaginally and anally," but that the rape kit disappeared after it was handed over to KBR security officers. Legal experts say Jones' alleged assailants will likely never face a judge and jury, due to an enormous loophole that has effectively left contractors in Iraq beyond the reach of United States law." http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/Story?id=3977702&page=1 ABC-News article titled " Another KBR Rape Claim Brings Scrutiny" http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/2007/12/more-kbr-sex-as.html ABC-News article titled "Congress to Probe Iraq Rape Allegations": http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/Story?id=3992370&page=1
