🦋 I don't do a lot of "political" posts
...but this story, linked by Matthew Yglesias, is the kind of thing I just can't pass over in silence. I've been outraged about the situation in Iraq since before there was a "situation in Iraq" -- by the Administration's many-tentacled approach to starting a war, and to keeping the war going, and to generally running America's foreign policy into the dirt -- but for an American company to enable its male employees to rape their co-worker without facing sanction, and to threaten the victim with termination, and to hold her prisoner -- it just takes my breath away. Not sure what I can do beyond telling other people to read the story, so I'll do that. Kudos to Ms. Jones for the way she is handling this, fighting KBR, telling her story, attempting to help other victimized women.
Update: MoveOn has created a petition calling on Congress to hold KBR accountable for this. You can sign it here.
