This makes sense. Civil contracts don't override criminal cases: you can't sign away your right not to be murdered or robbed. They only override civil cases, in this case the right to sue the criminal for damages.

On a semi-related note, have you heard about the new law that federally funds anonymous rape kit tests?

Tracy Barker and her case will determine the changes in law. Tracy Barker was sexully assualted, raped, locked in a shipping container and drugged by KBR medics, and I have read somewhere if her case would've been handled properly it would've spared Jones when she went over months later. Barker was sent to arbitration and Jones got a trial these two cases will bring the courts to a decision. ABC did a false report when they stated that Barker's case was killed. Just because Jamie Jones has a Clinton appointed Judge and Tracy Barker has a Bush appointed Judge and Tracy was abused by Congress www.womensspace.com does not mean that the laws can change to cater to Jones case but not the other. The judges need to make a decison and make both cases stick to it a trial or not! You cannot change the law just for Jones case when these 2 women were raped druged and put in shipping containers. I also read that Tracy Barker received an award today at Fort Bragg North Carolina for being one of the first victims to bring public awareness by going public ABC 2020 and the Congressional hearing Dec 19, 2007. I'm glad that this award Congressman Poe purposely left Tracy out of was finally recognized in North Carolina keep fighting Tracy we are pulling for you either both get a trial or both get arbitration!

I hope that Halliburton and KBR appeals this ruling and demands the Texas courts to decide on what the law is does Tracy and Jaime get a trial or arbitration? Both women were druged, raped, and put in shipping containers. The only difference is Tracy was working and Jaime was having drinks after work now tell me why would Jamie get a trial and not Tracy. The affadavit of Letty Surman and Kevin Rodgers that Jamie turned over was about Basra Iraq not Baghdad so I guess that can't prove the conditions of where Jamie spent her 4 days Basra is on the other side of the map.

Tracy this is for you I worked for another contractor at camp anaconda.everybody knew kbr was a wild place. i knew a lot of people over there .they had folks get caught with liquor over there they caught folks with private weapons.yeah the bosses would got pick the good looking women out of the bunch and put them in the office with them.if the women did not play they might get a crappy job out in the 130 degree heat or fired for bs.you saw all kinds of women riding around in new suvs while their co-workers rode buses.there was allegations of women getting paid for sex with bogus overtime.but a lot of the women were players too according to the word on the street.

The Honorable Barbara BoxerUnited States Senator, CaliforniaThe

Russell BuildingWashington , D.C. 20510

Dear Senator Boxer, I am writing to you as my senator seeking your

help. In July of 2005 at nineteen years old, I left my home in

Houston , Texas and my employment at Kellogg Brown and Root to take

an assignment with Halliburton, in Baghdad . I took this job

overseas with the plan to work for several years and use my earnings

to attend college full time when I returned. I arrived in Iraq on

July 23, 2005. I was assigned to room in a Halliburton barrack that

was inhabited by mostly men. On July 27, 2005 after my work shift I

was socializing with other employees and was given the “date rape

drug.” I woke the next morning in excruciating pain, battered,

bruised, confused, and with a nude male I did not know lying beside

me. I remembered nothing after drinking a drink prepared for me by

one of the men. A rape kit was performed that morning by Sergeant

Jodi Schultz, M.D. of the United States Army. It showed that I had

been brutally raped vaginally and sodomized by several unknown DNA

contributors. The exam revealed that my pectoral muscles were torn.

I also had vaginal tears and an anal tear from the force used, was

bruised on both wrists, both thighs and my stomach. I was in severe

pain and in a state of shock. I reported this assault to my employer

and was sent home. I returned to Houston , Texas on August 1, 2005.

I was unable to eat or sleep for an extended period of time and still

have trouble leaving my home without a family member. I have been

diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and have been unable to

return to work since the sexual assault. When I first came home I

would not go to any therapy sessions without my mother because I was

so terrified of leaving my home. I am now working with Ms. Nicole

Docktor, LCSW in San Diego . My life and my livelihood have been

greatly affected by this brutal crime. My case was presented to

Assistant U. S. Attorney, Dixie Morrow in Pensacola , Florida

yesterday and I am awaiting her decision whether or not the

Department of Justice will prosecute the perpetrators. The chief

suspect is a Florida resident and a firefighter employed by

Halliburton in Baghdad . I am concerned that the statute of

limitations is approaching quickly and it has taken this long to get

this far. I need your help because this case has not been given the

attention it deserves. It is incredibly disturbing to know that I am

only one of a large number of women who have been sexually assaulted

in this same locale under similar circumstances. I deserve my day in

court and deserve to have our government hold these perpetrators

accountable for their violent and destructive acts against me. To me

it is a matter of common sense to know that placing a young female in

a predominately all male barrack in a desert war zone is putting that

person in harms way. What possible motivation can Halliburton have to

continue to act so irresponsibly? Why does Halliburton continue to

employ sexual predators? Why are these men not held accountable? How

many women will have to be brutally attacked and raped before

Halliburton will take action? It is my understanding that the

Department of Justice exists to uphold the laws of the United States

and to protect its citizens. With this in mind, I ask you to take

the following actions: 1 – Bring any pressure you can to make sure

that the Department of Justice does its job. 2 – Raise the level of

awareness in the United States Senate of the danger that exists for

women working for Halliburton in Iraq . 3-Make any and all

oversight committees aware of this case, similar cases and the

ongoing practices of Halliburton that threaten the safety and well

being of female employees in Iraq. I would welcome any and all

assistance you can provide. Thank you in advance for any attention

you can bring to this important matter. Sincerely,

Ms. Jamie Jones-
Daigle
