The stories coming out of Iraq are unceasingly appalling. Watch as one woman testifies before Congress as to how she was brutally gang raped while in the employ of KBR and how they covered it up. The Justice Department failed to show up to the hearing. And there are another 11 women who recount similar abuse. This is awful. People need to be held to account for their actions.

Sounds like the folks at KBR need to clean house and take responsibility for what they're allowing to happen over there. And the state should definitely be involved...disappointed (though not really surprised) that no one showed up to this particular hearing.
