Steroids? How about rape?
Author: Raine
Date: 02/14/2008 13:56:05
It isn't as fun to talk to woman about thier sexual assaults as it is to talk to a Famous baseball player, but tough shit. It is high time Congress does something about this issue. Woman make up more than half of our population and deserve better treatment than they are getting
Limbo for Woman Reporting Assualts in Iraq
124 cases that do NOT include what is going on with private contractors. And NOTHING is being done. Arbitration is just not acceptable. People should be going to jail for these actions. JAIL. This is criminal and KBR is allowing it to be treated as a civil situation. Since when does a company get to decide what AMERICAN LAW IS?
You'll recall last week I spoke of KBR, Jamie Leigh Jones and a few other very brave women. I said that there are indeed more woman out there with stories like thiers. They are starting to speak out.
Why is that so hard for KBR and the ENTIRE government to comprehend?
The next question is, what will the administration and congress do? While the president is spending all of his time trying to make sure Americans stay in fear, and the house and the senate are STILL fighting over the definition of Torture and what kind of spying should be allowed on american citizens, what are they doing about the fact that we have a company that punishes woman for speaking out about sexual assault?
Sexual assault, rape, sodomy --- these things are terroristic. MAke no mistake about it. It has been used for thousands of years to repress people. KBR uses it to keep woman quiet. I fear that nothing will be done until we have a woman turn up dead, if we have not already. More than 1000 contractors have been killed in Iraq. It just makes me wonder, how many could have been covered up, considering little or nothing is being done to investigate these woman's very serious claims.
TOO many stories have risen to the surface to assume these are just a few isolated incididents. Something must be done.
Instead of having 5 hour hearing on the Hill to talk to a washed up baseball player about steroids --- who already has millions of dollars in his bank account, perhaps congress could open up some serious hearings about how we are allowing for the terrorizing of our own citizens in the name of "The War on Terra™" in a very pathological, consistent, specific way...
It's disgusting.

Limbo for Woman Reporting Assualts in Iraq
Mary Beth Kineston, an Ohio resident who went to Iraq to drive trucks, thought she had endured the worst when her supply convoy was ambushed in April 2004. After car bombs exploded and insurgents began firing on the road between Baghdad and Balad, she and other military contractors were saved only when Army Black Hawk helicopters arrived.
But not long after the ambush, Ms. Kineston said, she was sexually assaulted by another driver, who remained on the job, at least temporarily, even after she reported the episode to KBR, the military contractor that employed the drivers. Later, she said she was groped by a second KBR worker. After complaining to the company about the threats and harassments endured by female employees in Iraq, she was fired.
“I felt safer on the convoys with the Army than I ever did working for KBR,” said Ms. Kineston, who won a modest arbitration award against KBR. “At least if you got in trouble on a convoy, you could radio the Army and they would come and help you out. But when I complained to KBR, they didn’t do anything. I still have nightmares. They changed my life forever, and they got away with it.”
Ms. Kineston is among a number of American women who have reported that they were sexually assaulted by co-workers while working as contractors in Iraq but now find themselves in legal limbo, unable to seek justice or even significant compensation.
[...]
The Criminal Investigation Command of the Army has reported that it investigated 124 cases of sexual assault in Iraq over the last three years. Those figures, provided to Senator Bill Nelson, the Florida Democrat who has taken the lead in the Senate on the issue, include cases involving both contractors and military personnel, but do not include cases involving contractors or soldiers investigated by other branches of the military.
[...]
Linda Lindsey, of Houston, who worked for KBR in Iraq from 2004 until early 2007, said that she often saw evidence of sexual harassment or discrimination, and that male supervisors often tried to force female employees to grant sexual favors in exchange for promotions or other benefits.
[..]
Pamela Jones, of Texas, a KBR logistics coordinator in Kuwait in 2003 and 2004, was sexually assaulted by a supervisor.
You'll recall last week I spoke of KBR, Jamie Leigh Jones and a few other very brave women. I said that there are indeed more woman out there with stories like thiers. They are starting to speak out.
“Victims of crime perpetrated by employees of taxpayer-funded government contracts in Iraq deserve the same standard of treatment and protection governed by the same laws whether they are working in the U.S. or abroad,” she said.
The next question is, what will the administration and congress do? While the president is spending all of his time trying to make sure Americans stay in fear, and the house and the senate are STILL fighting over the definition of Torture and what kind of spying should be allowed on american citizens, what are they doing about the fact that we have a company that punishes woman for speaking out about sexual assault?

Hmmmmm, someone celebrated Valentines day early?
I'll entertain with this classic valentine poem:
THE PERFECT MAN
The perfect man is gentle
Never cruel or mean
He has a beautiful smile
And keeps his face so clean.
The perfect man likes children
And will raise them by your side
He will be a good father
As well as a good husband to his bride.
The perfect man loves cooking
Cleaning and vacuuming too
He'll do anything in his power
To convey his feelings of love to you.
The perfect man is sweet
Writing poetry from your name
He's a best friend to your mother
And kisses away your pain.
He never has made you cry
Or hurt you in any way
Oh, forget this stupid poem
"

"
The perfect man is gay!!!!

FIRST!!!
Happy Valentine's Day, bloggers!!!
The early edition of the UNN Daily Headlines are up.
Here is a story that should outrage everyone:
Toxic fumes force Katrina, Rita victims from trailers
That is right, the trailers have an average of five times the formaldehyde exposure that most people have in modern homes - and over fifty times in some cases.

I refuse to "Do the day"!
The way I look at it is if I need 1 single day to show the woman that shares my name. Maybe I shouldn't be breathing, much less lucky enough to be blessed withher hand on my heart.
BUT!
I just thought it was a sweet thing to do.

Barack on the economy:
Provide Middle Class Americans Tax Relief
Obama will cut income taxes by $1,000 for working families to offset the payroll tax they pay.
Provide a Tax Cut for Working Families: Obama will restore fairness to the tax code and provide 150 million workers the tax relief they need. Obama will create a new "Making Work Pay" tax credit of up to $500 per person, or $1,000 per working family. The "Making Work Pay" tax credit will completely eliminate income taxes for 10 million Americans.
Simplify Tax Filings for Middle Class Americans: Obama will dramatically simplify tax filings so that millions of Americans will be able to do their taxes in less than five minutes. Obama will ensure that the IRS uses the information it already gets from banks and employers to give taxpayers the option of pre-filled tax forms to verify, sign and return. Experts estimate that the Obama proposal will save Americans up to 200 million total hours of work and aggravation and up to $2 billion in tax preparer fees.
Trade
Obama believes that trade with foreign nations should strengthen the American economy and create more American jobs. He will stand firm against agreements that undermine our economic security.
Fight for Fair Trade: Obama will fight for a trade policy that opens up foreign markets to support good American jobs. He will use trade agreements to spread good labor and environmental standards around the world and stand firm against agreements like the Central American Free Trade Agreement that fail to live up to those important benchmarks. Obama will also pressure the World Trade Organization to enforce trade agreements and stop countries from continuing unfair government subsidies to foreign exporters and nontariff barriers on U.S. exports.
Amend the North American Free Trade Agreement: Obama believes that NAFTA and its potential were oversold to the American people. Obama will work with the leaders of Canada and Mexico to fix NAFTA so that it works for American workers.
Improve Transition Assistance: To help all workers adapt to a rapidly changing economy, Obama would update the existing system of Trade Adjustment Assistance by extending it to service industries, creating flexible education accounts to help workers retrain, and providing retraining assistance for workers in sectors of the economy vulnerable to dislocation before they lose their jobs.
=================================================================
I post this because I do understand what Chris
is saying. When I decided to support edwards, I was based at first by a gut feeling, and then I did the research. Edwards dropped out and I was back to a smaller square one, and I felt it was my responsibility to become an informed voter.
BAck before the internets, candidates usually wrote books explaining thier stances, nowadays it is on the internets.
I feel that BOTH of our remaining candidates are lacking details, to be honest. but, In the gazzilion or so debates, they have tried to make thier issus clear, which hasn't always worked becuase of mudslinging.
I think that the IDEA of hope and change is a mindset that we NEED right now in order to get something moving in congress. in the end CONGRESS will be enacting these issues.

I think that the IDEA of hope and change is a mindset that we NEED right now in order to get something moving in congress. in the end CONGRESS will be enacting these issues.

The WPA got this country on it's feet!
In short the government put people to work working on the infrastructure.
Assisting people getting on hteir feet. and straightening out their lives.
And the Cons HATED IT!
Took the Government to court to stop it!
Funny they don't seem to complain when we bailed out the banks BOTH TIMES!

Excellent blog entry, Raine!
(I had to step away from the PC for a while. Household tasks.)
To me, a measure of a society's development is how it treats its citizens. To be blunt, the key question is does justice exist for all members of our society. Under the Bush administration, the answer is no.
Corporations may be seen as people by some conservatives, but the rights of individuals must outweigh those of artificial entities that are not sentient, and no more capable of feeling than a stone. So, I think that we have to press for justice in this matter - even if the deck appears stacked in the favor of major corporations.

slaughtered porcine omnivore in the slow cooker; egg salad all made and cooling for lunch, a bottle of chardonnay chilling to go with the aforementioned omnivore later, and some potato salad coming up this afternoon.
But soon, I'll be taking Mrs. TriSec in to the school dept. for her noontime work, then I'll be all alone a bit.
We're off tomorrow, too...we planned Friday to be more of an "alone" day...Javi will be in school and Mrs. TriSec is not working.
I've just programmed the GPS for this weekend, we're heading up to Belfast for an overnight Sunday...we'll be stopping at a noted Bean Factory in Freeport on the way, but we're also going to check out the neighborhood and Athena's new offices...

It's interesting - we had the same "vague on details" discussion with our neighbor last night. We suggested reading Obama's website for details, and he said that he shouldn't have to.
I'm beginning to wonder if this whole "vague on details" is a viral smear campaign against Obama - either from Hillary or the Republicans...

I think that Chris is asking for details more for america rather than for him, I could be wrong, but there is nothing wrong with taking a contrarian position. If we are at a point on the left where we cannot do that, then we are as bad as the right wing.

I don't disagree with that. It just seems suspicious that this seems to be the meme lately, especially since our friend listens to right-wing radio (so we don't have to) and was voicing the same thing.

That is true. We need to get him off the RWR machines.

They are light on details, yes. But nowadays all the media cares about is soundbytes so light on details is probably the best way to go.
After all, Obama's positions on everything are very detailed on his website.

I am having an I miss John edwards moment. John edwards had no problem talking about our homeless vets ... he brought the ugly part of america into the debate and talked about fixing it.
HE talked about homelessness and talked about fixing it.
HE talked about people with medical problems and talked about fixing it.
Obama and Hillary both NEED to make this PERSONAL. But specially Obama. I understand what he is saying. I pay far more attention to it all than alot of people. So do ALL of our friends at this blog, and our friends on other progressive sights. WE are fortunate. We have this internet available to use and we use it the way it SHOULD be used... as a tool for self education. We use it to understand, repudiate, or confirm.
They NEED To make it REALLY about you and I. I think that Obama when he talks about hope, he needs to show specific examples in his campaign stumps about HOW that hope can be brought about.
HELL -- politics should be be about making it personal.

The media will not.
They won't give all those speaches by ANY candidate who gave specifics... they have deamed americans to stupid to go beyond sound bytes.

IF things go the way I am seeing, the house ihey will be letting the prtoect America Act expire on Friday. That means that things sill go back to the way it used to be ... forcing the administration to use the FISA court. and no immunity for Telecoms.
Bush is ready to bust a nut, as I tried to report when he gave a short speech and less than an hour later, we see the house republicans walking out of session.
This is amazing stuff friends.

We need to never EVER forget that. JSUT because they don't use his words... thier actions are all that we need.
IT is time to vote these pubs out. When I can, when it available, I will post the names of all the pubs I saw standing on the house steps.
PLUS... the fact that here were cameras there to record this drama, tells me that the pubs have used the media for thier own benefit, again.

If telling the republicans that they can't have the vote they want is balls then I am willing to take it.
This sitch is more a show of what a bunch of babies the pubes really are. The ONLY thing the hosue has to do is NOT bring up the FISA vote agin. THAT IS IT. ALL they have to do is DO NOTHING.
in return for the possibility of doing NOTHING... house Republicans walked out.
if I could begin to tell you the hypocrisy here I would. But I may need a complete new blog post.
PROTEST IS UNAMERICAN!!! how dare these republicans do such a thing?!?!?! THey are on the job!
FK. these anti union anti labor pigs just walked off the job.... Everyone of them should be fired according to what every republican water carrier wants from tier party.
PROTEST? they are fools!!! they are an embarassment to thier mission!!! (that is what i have been told when I gladly defend Code pink and WCW... HOW ever will they defend the republicans?@?@?)

I would love that this stuff happened when we did not have friends off.
IF the house keeps thier promise... the FISA law will expire on friday.
That means that we don't get spied on illegally.
That also means that telecomms HAVE to stop what they are DOING.
and it means that they were REALLY stupid in believing that just bacasue Bush said it was ok doesn't mean it was ok.
BUSH is not the president of all the companies. HE is not the AMRICAN CEO.
Telecoms need to get this right here and now, we pay you for OUR services... the administration doesn't. Are they al that retardofiffic that they cannot get that point?

Since the contempt vote already went through, is the walkout anything more than a media show? Or did something else have to happen in order to complete the contempt charges?

Well, it seems that the GOP is grandstanding and the Dems in the House are standing firm.
Perhaps we are seeing the Democrats wake up and realize that they are strong. About time.

They had the vote anyway:
On a vote of 223-to-32 House Democrats succeeded in passing the contempt charges against White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten and former counsel Harriet Miers, after Republicans walked out in protest.

Do we give this baby a bottle (or what, bourbon) and a comfortable job as a lobbyist to stop him crying?

I'm back. Did anyone miss me?
It seems like I missed the fun with the Republican crybabies. They need a bottle and to be burped.
Actually, they need to be disciplined.
Although there are some Rethug Congressmen who probably get turned on by that.

Saw Keith via C&L just a few minutes ago.
I almost did a spit-take when he used the "F" word to describe the shrub!

Maybe one of the websites will sponsor a mass effort to send such things to the whinging babies. Pelosi *finally* called their bluff.
About damn time too.
