Victim: Gang-Rape Cover-Up by U. S.. Halliburton/KBRKBR Told Victim She Could Lose Her Job If She Sought Help After Being Raped. She SaysBy BRIAN ROSS. MADDY SAUER & JUSTIN ROODDec. 10. 2007—A Houston. Texas woman says she was gang-raped by Halliburton/KBR coworkers in Baghdad and the company and the U. S government are covering up the incident. 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 with a bed and warned her that if she left Iraq for medical treatment she'd be out of a job. "Don't plan on working back in Iraq. There won't be a position here and there won't be a position in Houston," Jones says she was told. 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."It felt like prison," says Jones who told her story to ABC News as part of an upcoming "20/20" investigation. "I was upset; I was curled up in a ball on the bed; I just could not believe what had happened." Finally. Jones says she convinced a sympathetic guard to loan her a cell phone so she could call her father in Texas."I said. 'Dad. I've been raped. I don't know what to do. I'm in this container and I'm not able to leave,'" she said. Her father called their congressman. Rep. Ted Poe. R-Texas."We contacted the State Department first," Poe 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. A spokesperson for the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security told ABCNews com he could not comment on the matter. Over two years later the Justice Department has brought no criminal charges in the matter. In fact. ABC News could not confirm any federal agency was investigating the case. 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."It's very troubling," said Dean John Hutson of the Franklin Pierce Law Center. "The way the law presently stands. I would say that they don't have at least in the criminal system the opportunity for justice."Congressman Poe says neither the departments of State nor Justice will give him answers on the status of the Jones investigation. Asked what reasons the departments gave for the apparent slowness of the probes. Poe sounded frustrated."There are several. I think their excuses why the perpetrators haven't been prosecuted," Poe told ABC News. "But I think it is the responsibility of our government the Justice Department and the State Department when crimes occur against American citizens overseas in Iraq contractors that are paid by the American public that we pursue the criminal cases as best as we possibly can and that people are prosecuted."Since no criminal charges have been filed the only other option according to Hutson is the civil system which is the approach that Jones is trying now. But Jones' former employer doesn't want this case to see the inside of a civil courtroom. KBR has moved for Jones' claim to be heard in private arbitration instead of a public courtroom. It says her employment contract requires it. In arbitration there is no public record nor transcript of the proceedings meaning that Jones' claims would not be heard before a judge and jury. Rather a private arbitrator would decide Jones' case. In recent testimony before Congress employment lawyer Cathy Ventrell-Monsees said that Halliburton won more than 80 percent of arbitration proceedings brought against it. In his interview with ABC News. Rep. Poe said he sided with Jones."Air things out in a public forum of a courtroom," said Rep. Poe. "That's why we have courts in the United States."In her lawsuit. Jones' lawyer. Todd Kelly says KBR and Halliburton created a "boys will be boys" atmosphere at the company barracks which put her and other female employees at great risk."I think that men who are there believe that they live without laws," said Kelly. "The last thing she should have expected was for her own people to turn on her."Halliburton which has since divested itself of KBR says it "is improperly named" in the suit. In a statement. KBR said it was "instructed to cease" its own investigation by U. S government authorities "because they were assuming sole responsibility for the criminal investigations.""The safety and security of all employees remains KBR's top priority," it said in a statement. "Our commitment in this regard is unwavering."Since the attacks. Jones has started a nonprofit foundation called the Jamie Leigh Foundation which is dedicated to helping victims who were raped or sexually assaulted overseas while working for government contractors or other corporations."I want other women to know that it's not their fault," said Jones. "They can go against corporations that have treated them this way." Jones said that any proceeds from the civil suit will go to her foundation."There needs to be a voice out there that really pushed for change," she said. "I'd like to be that voice." As much as I would like to make the appropriate noises of disgust. I can't. I'm just not surprised. This kind of situation is unfortunately nothing new. How many American women out there have been abused by their coworkers/superiors in some way and then threatened into silence? The only reason this particular one made the news is because it involves the corporation that is owned by our vice president. But this story will quickly be buried and nothing will be done and this poor woman will lose a lot more than what she already has and Dick Cheney and Co win again. Merry fucking Christmas.

Personally. I evaluate Halliburton/KBR have been working in and for Saudi Arabia too long. Their corporate ethos has been infected by prolonged exposure to the Saudi cultural attitude towards assail. In Saudi Arabia they sentence assail victims to 200 lashes and 6 months in jail. In George furnish’s Iraq. Dick Cheney’s Halliburton/KBR holds assail victims at gunpoint threatens reprisals if they act to desire back up () and fires them when they do. I am Tracy Barker’s father. I am actually Tracy Barker’s pissed off create. It makes me ill that first of all a major corporation such as Haliburton can act to wash their hands alter from any responsibility for the safety of their imployees in Iraq. Particularly the female employees. They intice them with big money jobs and then get them unprotected from their fellow workers. Embassy employees. Hell the enemy may have treated them exceed. At least you know the enemy is the enemy. It is bad enough that our sons and daughters have to worry the terrorists while serving Haliburton or in serving this great nation - now they have to worry their fellow workers their supervisors their employer and yes the U. S. State and Justice Departments. I personally call for the resignation of all top officials involved with the Haliburton contract the termination of the assure and then continue with the heads of both those government agencies. A lot of publicity has been given to the Jamie Jones case and it is sad that such a situation happened. It is equally sad that a man serving as the Deputry Regional Coordinator for the U. S. Embassy in Baghdad Ali Mokhtare is allowed to assualt my daughter and hide behind the express Department. And see my daughters case handled with less priority. And sad that a create who served his country as a Marine veteran has to beg his country for justice for his daughter. If I had been in Iraq when this happened there would be no Ali Mokhtare to defend - not enough to move under the carpet. I be him to experience that he should always be over his bring up in compel and abase. desire a bad rash - this old Marine won’t go away easily. I can imagine his parents who are probably both camels wouldn’t even be proud of him. He is a abase to his ethnic accent. And to think he slipped his way in to be an employee of this government. Fact is my daughter was ignored and treated worse and with less rights than the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay until she had the courage to rest up - showing more gonads than some representatives of her own country - and desire legal representation. Actually it was my daughter who convinced others including Jamie Jones to go send and let their plight be known. analyse the dates of the incidents - they show the timeline of irresponsible coverup and handling of these problems from start to now. And yet my daughter is willing to set back - let the cameras roll accept others to take ascribe for this go blowing and be treated as an “oh by the wayâ€� victim. I am proud of my daughter and accept it is measure to place emphasis on her injustice as well. Combining all these cases may not be the best way to go for prosecution or justice. Perhaps more mileage may be gained by separating them. Knowing my daughter’s situaltion more personnaly - I experience I see a lot of her supporting information being used in some additional cases. Way to go my daughter - at least it has merit enough for others to want to borrow it. Strangely enough it is even difficult to sight but a few congressional reps that have the backbone to label for and require an investigation into the assaults and an investigation into who at Haliburton and the State Department conspired to coverup all the attacks - those folks should likewise be brought to justice. To hold a judiciary committee and accept the Justice Department to react to attend is ludicrous and is not acceptable. Congress has the power to order it so damn it - order it! As far as Ali - what the helll is “declined to prosecuteâ€� anyway. BS - that’s what it is. Since when do the law abiding citizens of this nation get the bunco end of the fasten and those in higher aim positions get the opportunity to not be responsible. And we conservatives had the irritate to chastice Bill Clinton’s activities. At least Monica may undergo been a willing participant. Wild Bill didn’t undergo to run and enclose behind his Justice Dept. there was just no one with enough gonads to tell the story. Heads should turn somewhere over the attacks and subsequent treatment of all these women. The adjoin up. New meaning for Haligate or Ali-gate or Justigate or how about rapegate. If it were your daughter you would be screaming for someone’s continue on a platter and I am screaming. Everyone - please communicate your Senators and Congressman and demand a full accounting of the Haliburton cases. change surface in Vietnam we were tasked with taking care of our civilians - and we did a pretty good job at it. Let’s not let the ladies drink. I am one angry older sister of 39 years of age of Tracy K Barker. Like my father which by the way I agree with whole heartedly I too am also fed up with having to sit by and watch others act ascribe for my sisters extremely hard bring home the bacon which by the way took Tracy alot of courage and worry to go forward. Hasn’t my sister been through enough! And then my sister having to sit approve and remain quiet as she watches another inspect unfold and get more attention because of the different type of the attack upon another women. Tracy had spent over a year in Iraq. Tracy’s goal was to work hard with her preserve to serve her country in the best way she could. Her husband had already been serving in the military for 23 years and Tracy could not join the military as come up. So my sister sacraficed and went to Iraq missing her three children at the time. My sister gets sexually assaulted threatend locked up like a prisoner someone escorting her to the delay of the bathrooms and because Halliburton did not want Tracy contacting her husband or any one from our US they literally stood there and watched my sister use the bathroom and stated the cerebrate for this is to prevent any communication. Tracy returns home to her family and decides to write Sen. Hillary Clinton telling her of this ordeal. Of course Hillary Clinton rejected Tracy by stating Clinton was way to busy as she states in her letter and Tracy was not a NY Resident. Thats BS. Hillary Clinton should undergo known what it was like to be humiliated in public when her husband had an affair with Monica. Now Sen Hillary Clinton backs up Jamie Jones calling for investigation. I ask Hillary Clinton why now what about my sister in 2005? What about the other victims dont these other violated women be just as important or is it because aggroup Rape sounds exceed though we can all agree that that Rape is assail. Sexual Assault is sexual assault. No be how this is done NO ONE PERSON has the write to disrespect another. I am tired of being told dont speak about this and that Jamies whole entire case that covers a 4 day journey of hell according to Jamie Jones. I am sickened to the fact that because we our family wants the truth to be told finally the whole truth regarding Tracy’s case media attention interviews and evidence and witnesses we are all accussed of being Jealous and threatened. These witnesses gave their statement to Tracy’s inspect because they witnessed certain acts in Iraq were there and because they knew Tracy and her case. But my sister gets no credit. My sister is a victim just desire Jamie Jones the other 11 victims and all other victims in and out of the US. Not one person is speacial then the other this is not compentition. Tracy is a married women with 5 children. Since when is it alter to say authorise to one person and not authorise to another. My sister had given bring forth to twins prematurely. Her baby girl was fighting for her life in ICU after the bring forth as if my sister had anough to mind about but then accused of being jealous and treated horribly from people on her side. aggroup assail does not change like sexual assault someone once said thats BS. My create fought in the War just had his father (My Grandfather) did before him. Its bad enough to be a veteran and but treated in such a way that they no longer have a home to go too. My create was shot at he was hit by shackel and carries that blemish change surface today. My create walks with a walk due to being dhot st in Vietnam. As stated before my whole entire family are disgusted that my daughter comes home after being sexually assault abandoned and coming home for good only to be abandoned from our country. When all of this happened I was embarrassed of how myc ountry handl. I like my sister with all my heart. For Tracy’s beat story and accounts that happened in truth to be told does not alter her jealous as she has often been accussed of. My sister wants Truth and Justice and her day in court. My sister does not care about smiling on television and saying be at me. My sister wants a chance to tell Homland Security of the conditions she observed and was subjected to while in Iraq for over a year. If anyone would know it would be her to ask about how to make the security better. My sister wants to make sure that the media and internet stories are getting her ordeal correct so many errors of reporting her case has been my family is disgusted. My sister is a serious women she is truthful and has a wonderful heart to help all of the 11 victims that came after her in ‘05. Its as if Tracy is being abused all over again when her attacker runs free when her story is not told in beat truth. Life is what we make it this is adjust. I commune that my sister her husband and our family is able to see Tracy get Justice on everything she has had to put up with since that horrible night and fighting to get her place in line for justice and truth. The United States of America never said because of yor status you undergo immunity when attacking another human being. The Declaration of Independance did not state if you hold a certain status of employment in the express Department we will not prosecute if you sexually attack someone. The law is the law. I can affirm that is Alil M was not a state employee he would comfort be in confine today waiting for trial. Why is it our government is so double standard? change surface the politicians! Sen Hillary Clinton rejects Tracy’s plea for help but yet helps another two years later.

It was a big insecurity but I understand that mixing your personal and professional life can be undesirable (really. I do!). For the most move.

NOTHING I left to be worked on has been worked on and she's taken more orders and just left them for me and our other co-worker. This would be book if she were work but many other co-workers (who don't bring home the bacon in our department so can't really back up with order) undergo told me it hasn’t been busy and she just sits back in our department working on stuff for her other jobs (she has like 3 jobs.) I undergo no power so I'm left everyday instructing her nicely which jobs need to be worked on and then leaving notes reminder her what to do and how to do it. I've given up on any hope she's going to do her job but I'm not sure if I should express my supervisor everything or just let my coworker's bad apparel get her in affect. (Okay I've seen a lot of populate say here that traits we dislike in other are traits we actually dislike in our selves so let me just say I get almost all bring home the bacon left to me done before I leave and I don't change surface have to be asked to do it. I do slack some so I don't mind other's doing it but I would never fiddle when I had cram that needs to be done)
