Jamie Leigh Jones, an employee of Halliburton/KBR in Iraq, describes how she was gang-raped by co-workers of the contracting firm in Iraq. Former Vice President Dick Cheney was once CEO of Halliburton and was instrumental in the firm landing lucrative contracts in the rebuilding of Iraq after U.S. forces destroyed much of Iraq.
In this video, Jones describes how she was held in a cell for 24-hours and repeatedly gang-raped and had to undergo reconstructive surgery and is still under treatment for the injuries she sustained during the gang rape.
Jones is interviewed in this video by Dan Abrams of MSNBC News.

In many cases, when American troops engaged in firefights call for overhead fighters to attack the enemy, it now falls to the pilots to ask, in essence, "Well, isn't there another way to resolve this problem?"
