This is what happens when you let right wing nuts take control of our nation. Only a few Senators, like Franken look out for the people who elect them. The rest are corrupt corporate lackeys who are destroying America.
Sorry for the momentary distraction. I was busy babysitting a troll.
I see no reason to give Halliburton a pass on Constitutional grounds whatsoever, insofar as their entire mandatory binding arbitration structure is specifically designed to deny those same rights to their employees.
Not hard at all to see that's what happened.
The horsecrap left-right paradigm be damned. It's the pursuit of monkeys and children. This is about true justice, and a good amendment.
This woman lied, when the time came to put up or shut up, Jones' "gang-rape" claim simply disappeared. DNA evidence showed she'd had sex with one only man, and he claimed it was consensual.
@dgl1962 Not precisely true. The doctor who issued the rape kit was a Halliburton employee, turned the kit over to Halliburton and if we believe them, all it showed was one instance of sex. That's not the same as saying it didn't happen. Insufficient evidence is not the same as innocence.
I don't say she lied, nor told the truth, but you're relying on press releases from the people who stood to lose quite a bit of money if this came to light.
@OneVoiceMore Insufficient evidence is indicative of innocence.
How would you like to have a woman make claims against you & your friends of being gang raped, then when she's tested for it shows only the DNA of the one consensual encounter?
The worst part of all of this is that many women have been raped and had no justice precisely because many women have lied about being raped & subsequent investigations proved it.
Another reason to keep women OUT of the military & especially war zones.
@dgl1962 DNA is DNA. It does not presuppose consent. That adjective is what the defendant used, which he would have, guilty or otherwise.
I would agree with you that the woman has been characterized as mental. But when it comes to PARTICULARLY Halliburton, you don't think credibility is ipso facto an issue?
Lack of a murder weapon doesn't make a murder 'disoccur'.
Insufficient evidence indicates only insufficient evidence. PRESUMPTION of innocence comes with the American mindset.
@OneVoiceMore I have no idea of what took place that night.
Presumption of innocence is afforded to the accused, not the complainant.
The corporation of Haliburton and their huge contracts at taxpayer expense didn't rape her and they formed a defense like ANY other entity would have if similar charges were made.
@dgl1962 You assert American rights denied to the complainant, however. No day in court, no right to petition the government for redress of grievances, and something that would enter into a court, Halliburton's less-than-stellar reputation.
You would also presume a fair and impartial hearing, which she was also denied. Conflict of interest, and all that. ;)
Trying so hard to keep it out of court STINKS of mens re to me, but I read between the lines.
@dgl1962 Sorry, did something give you the impression that you're deliberating what topic to discuss?
Why the subject change when I inject a little THOUGHT into what PROBABLY happened?
Oh, wait, let me guess....you're trying to suggest that I'm only thinking Halliburton might do a little wrong because I'm a liberal Democrat socialist communist Obama-loving anti-patriot?
@OneVoiceMore When you get down to it, this fits right in with the subject.
Some people are very concerned about justice when it comes to those making charges that involve a hated corporation of the left (Haliburton) than those making charges against the right, like Iran Contra.
We're all biased, it's just that some of us are adult enough to see both sides within ourselves and admit it.

If they were married, why was she a virgin?
If you would find that story difficult to accept today from a neighbor, how the hell can you accept it from 2,000 years ago? LOL!
@dgl1962 "I'm just trying to get you to convince me that Mary (mother of Jesus) didn't have an affair with a hunky Roman soldier & that her husband Joseph wasn't just pussywhipped into believing her ridiculous tale, plus it kept her from getting stoned."
I'll redirect you. Try the topic "If Atheists ruled the world."
Your obsessions with me need some channeling, and I'm here for you, pumpkin.
There, you can assert your adultery case against Mary, and you can provide sources, etc.
@dgl1962 Now that we've gotten you some education, I ask again...
Were the women you mentioned and tried to hide forced into binding arbitration? Let me just answer, since you haven't the honesty for it. NO, they weren't.
One got her day in court, and the other recanted her testimony, and changed her story more than once.
Your despicable gloating and lack of honesty or a command of public facts, and your Halliburtonish tendency to try and bury your ineptitude have concluded this debate, moron.
@OneVoiceMore "When Jones went to work for KBR in Texas, and later for its subsidiary, Overseas Administrative Services, she signed contracts containing mandatory binding arbitration clauses, which required her to give up her right to sue the companies and any right to a jury trial. Instead, the contracts forced Jones to press her case through private arbitration, which she did in 2006".
How wide can you open your mouth?
Keep your words soft & sweet in case you have to eat them.
@dgl1962 Pumpkin, I thought we were talking about the CLINTON lawsuit, which you chose as the example, and which did get filed in an AMERICAN COURT. Are you now moving the goalposts to say it had to be a criminal court instead of civil? And the case was SETTLED. ;)
Keep talking.
I notice you dropped Broaddrick, perhaps because you couldn't spell her name right in all your feigned indignation for her plight, eh?
@OneVoiceMore We were talking about the women who have made accusations and were dismissed and ridiculed depending upon who was being accused (Haliburton or your Camelot)
You have the attention span of an autistic 10 year old...
Did your mother allow you to get all of the vaccinations demanded by your omniscient government that you love so much?
@dgl1962 Kid, your tactics are feeble. Your Kung Fu is not strong.
Now you change the TOPIC, repeated endlessly, to suit a narrow point you were STILL wrong on?
I do see your OCD is kicking in full strength, however.
So let me show you STRONG Kung Fu, little breakwind:
You have tacitly admitted by continuing that I am worth debating, which I already knew. However, your ignoble inability to admit a single point you've been defeated on is unworthy.
@OneVoiceMore Do you always refer to those who are 1 year younger (at least chronologically) than you as "kid"?
By the way, if that is your kid in your vid and if you're attempting to inculcate your stupidity of religion into his/her mind, you should be tried for child abuse....with forced arbitration!
Seriously, fairy tales are best left to 3 year olds on Christmas & Halloween.
Really, isn't 50 a wee bit old to fall for that horseshit?
@dgl1962 Perhaps you should, as I advised earlier, THINK, then SPEAK. My comment referred to PAULA JONES, your own example. I'm very well aware that JAMIE JONES was under KBR binding arbitration, genius.
@OneVoiceMore Pardon me for deviating from your tangled mess of trying to salvage your side of the debate without looking like an emotional 12 year old girl, but I have a theory that in 500 years, there will be a cult...sorry, a "religion" that claims that Harry Potter was real and that they will gain power over governments to torture & kill those that disbelieve their silly tale.
After some time they will be unveiled as fools and be relegated to mumbling & chanting on Sunday's in funny bldgs.
@OneVoiceMore There you go again, mixing presumption of innocence which is related to the presumed innocence of the accused (Haliburton & its employees) with the "innocence" of the little pretty girl making a huge charge against a despised icon of the left
Were you there?
Do you know that she didn't commit perjury?
It seems she may not have since it didn't get to a court and jury.
@OneVoiceMore Please don't leave me now! Let us delve into the real anti-Semites (the Zionists) who not only hate Semites (Arabs) but kill them for sport and conquest.
Would you be so so gracious in allowing me to change the subject?, If so, I'll have you feeling like a 6 year old who eagerly awaits the tooth fairy the night that they've lost a tooth in a couple exchanges.
I'm very cautious of straying from what you determine is appropriate to write about & what isn't, so please let me know if I've violated your guidelines of allowable topics to discuss.
Paula Jones: The lawsuit was dismissed before trial on the grounds that Jones failed to demonstrate any damages. However, while the dismissal was being appealed, Clinton entered into an out-of-court settlement by agreeing to pay Jones $79,999.
Sounds like this might have occurred in a....c'mon...say it with me.. AMERICAN COURT.
Juanita Broaddrick was never DENIED a day in court. It was always an option, despite her recanting a sworn affidavit. ;)
Real life hearings aren't like a John Grisham novel. Witnesses have the right to explain their responses in judicial hearings, and I assume the same is true in Congressional hearings. The "answer yes or no" bullshit is pure nonsense.
WOW, this is so impressive - my question is for all Americans, how many people will have to be harmed and for corporations to literally rape people and take their rights away before we stand up and fight for each other?
Al Franken is a funny comedian, a biting satirist, a senator for the people...and as this video shows, a true badass, willing to do whatever it takes to get to the truth.
binding arbitration without one or both parties consent ? any way I am not unhappy with what happen to her, some one came to iraq to kill; suddenly, she got raped by other killers.
Bravo Senator Franken! I was mislead by close friends and FOX News of your intelligence and servitude as a Democrat AND I WAS WRONG. Based on how you handled this situation I would vote for you if you ran for President. I hope and pray that your sense of justice prevails and seal the stamp of approval by the American people. Keep up the good work!
the statistics on success rate of arbitration and going to court are obviously going to be compared like for like - so it doesn't matter if $50 counts as a success or not because they will have used the same quantum for both litigation and arbitration.
@capierce Are you so blinded by partisanship you can't take step back, look at this issue, and say "I don't like Franken, but he is right on this one."? Do you really condone binding arbitration for sexual assault?
@Cuse330Ci Yes. People that filled with partisanship ARE blind. One of the reasons the general populace cannot join together and get anything done- divide and conquer, folks. Divide and conquer...
@DarkeningSkies1 The radicals on the right are widening the gap with violent talk and extremism. Don't point at someone who has F*G or N**ger yelled at him and say, that person is guilty of partisanship. The right has largely been acting out of control for two years, and until they act sane and rational... they are the problem.
@starcrafter13terran If you look carefully at my comment, you will see that it is not regarding the original issue, and can in no way be seen as a "defense" of the radical right. I was pointing out to Cuse330Ci that in my experience, people as biased as capierce seems to be from his original comment CAN be blinded by said bias. No matter how one feels about a particular politician, one should be able to see when they are taking a proper stand. Only blindness would prevent it.
@starcrafter13terran Upon careful inspection, I think you were assuming that I was the original poster. The "yes" at the start of my reply was in response to Cuses' rhetorical question ("are you so blinded by partisanship..."), and I can see how a quick scan over all the comments would cause you to think I was saying "yes" as a direct response (i.e., "yes, I am blinded by partisanship! And proud of it!") Somehow I don't think that sort of ironic humour is in the original poster's CV.
how great would it be if franken sets his sights higher for the next elections, at least as a high-up cabinet member, at most as presidential candidate. this guy deserves to speak for america as a nation.
It is awful what happened to Ms. Jones in Iraq. Mandatory binding arbitration is not what is to blame here. It is the people in the company she was with that perpetrated and aided in the perpetration of these crimes. If she did not want to go to arbitration if something happened then she should not have signed the agreement and found another job. Horrible circumstances, deepest sympathies to her.
The Bush administration has made it easy for real people to stand up, unfortunately Mr Franken is one of few. We need more individuals who use logic and commen sense without the agenda or special interest of profit and greed.
The legacy of the Bush Administration and their friends, Blackwater, Halliburton, KBR, is the irreparable harm to nearly every aspect of American life and international standing. I hope you stupid bastards who voted for this Ass Hat are happy because decent honorable Americans are not.
lol standard? yes i do agree he is the standard for lib. dems and their sinking ship we call america. after november...back to snl when his term is over
@byramtax : You must be one of those goofballs who think Republican and Conservative is good for the country and Democrat and Liberal are destroying the country. There are very few good guys. The Bush Administration policies were a disaster and unfortunately the Obama Administration is staying the course and continuing those same policies because both parties are owned by the same people.
if by goofballs you mean the majority of america,,why yes i am.as for the rest of your comment, i pretty much agree with you. thats why i like the tea party, not so much for their beliefs, but more for their convictions and desire for small gov. more freedoms.
@byramtax Franken would make a great addition to the tea party. He's saying that young lady has a right to her day in court. He and that young lady are saying the public had a right to know what was done to her and other employees. How could any right thinking member of the tea party disagree with that. what happened to her has NOTHING to do with political party affiliation. NOTHING.
if by goofballs you mean the majority of america,,why yes i am.as for the rest of your comment, i pretty much agree with you. thats why i like the tea party, not so much for their beliefs, but more for their convictions and desire for small gov. more freedoms. but all franken is still a tool. lol.
The bill to change the binding arbitration died on the senate. Just remember, your government, republicans and democrats, couldn't care less about rape.
I'm not warm toward Franken's ideological sensibilities. But he's HONEST and HARDWORKING, and wants to do the right thing and make government work for people. That alone puts him HEAD AND SHOULDERS above the rest of the scumbags in washington.
They also managed to "lose" some of the rape kit. Given the circumstances, does anyone seriously believe that misplacing evidence that could have been used to potentially identify and convict KBR employees was an honest mistake?
This isn't a conservative or liberal issue. Arbitration agreements don't extend to being gang-raped. That's NOT a risk of the job (which is what the agreement covers). If they thought it was, why did they put her in mostly-male barracks when she despite her concerns?
Whilst it's true that KBR didn't technically rape the woman, she complained to them about living conditions which certainly facilitated the rape. Moreover, KBR tried to cover up the rape and they kept her locked up, how can you even say that KBR is not responsible.
Because he's not a police officer or a judge? He's a member of the legislature. He's attempting to fix the very broken arbitration system set in place by large corporations to make sure this kind of thing won't happen again.
They're senate aides. Secretaries and assistants, basically. They keep schedules, take notes, do research, make calls... and mstaff is a lonely man with too much time on his hands.
Jamie Leigh Jones was drugged and gang-raped by KBR employees and then denied trial by the US judicial system because of KBR's status as a foreign contractor working in Iraq.
Franken is attempting to fix this incredible loophole and help get justice for this woman, and you think it's appropriate to just call him "another liberal parasite?" Nice work.
The real issue here is that women need to be able to KNOW WHAT THEY ARE GETTING INTO, and they can't if it's hidden from them before they sign on by this SECRET arbitration. What is needed is for it to come out, to be seen, for the information to be available to all so people can make INFORMED choices. Isn't that what freedom to choose is all about. Being informed?
Franken is attempting to fix this incredible loophole and help get justice for this woman and yet
you called Mister Franken "another liberal parasite?"
Does that make you feel good mstaff657? To criticize and call him name for trying to bring justice to these women who's been abused/raped and treated wrongfully?
You're a fucking moron. Scum, pure scum is what you are. I hope you die soon, we don't need stupid immoral inbreed twat like you living around spreading your filth.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you and Al Franken are the ones spreading filth - seems like Liberals can't wait to bring up some f bombs or claiming someone has authored a book with the title "living with herpes" as Al Franken does.
Thanks for posting that list. More people should be aware of that. Notice that some have been caught doing their own sexual things. One wonders how many HAVEN'T been caught, but are still guilty!
Perhaps that's why they don't want women and children to be able to bring these things to light. They are afraid of getting in trouble themselves for what THEY have done and are doing.
By the way, is there a women anywhere in there? Right off the bat, I don't see any. All white males who obviously feel entitled to do whatever they want.
She got drugged and gang raped while working for haliburton in Iraq.
She was not allowed to pursue legal action due to who she was working for - they only allow arbitration. They also locked her in a shipping container for 24 hours to keep her quiet.
Al Franken later made an amendment fixing this. 30 repubs voted against it.
@meatball402 ...and the Repugs who voted against complained that Franken was making them "look bad" and that he should "apologise" what total cunts...
Shouldn't a member of the SJC have a law degree? Is that what the Left has come to? Someone asking questions that have no direct legal barring? Disappointed in my home state (MN) and the Senate. This is serious, let someone who actually knows what's happening conduct it

You see, HERE, I was busy schooling your inadequate self on all the topics you can't seem to keep straight in your head.
Like your failure to admit PAULA JONES HAD HER DAY IN AN AMERICAN COURT.
Either she did, or she didn't. Which is it?
And did Broaddrick even FILE a court motion? Newps. But no binding arbitration prevented it, my little Apple Dumpling.
Orange you happy now?

@dgl1962 "I'm just trying to get you to convince me that Mary (mother of Jesus) didn't have an affair with a hunky Roman soldier & that her husband Joseph wasn't just pussywhipped into believing her ridiculous tale, plus it kept her from getting stoned."
I'll redirect you. Try the topic "If Atheists ruled the world."

@dgl1962 Now that we've gotten you some education, I ask again...
Were the women you mentioned and tried to hide forced into binding arbitration? Let me just answer, since you haven't the honesty for it. NO, they weren't.
One got her day in court, and the other recanted her testimony, and changed her story more than once.
Your despicable gloating and lack of honesty or a command of public facts, and your Halliburtonish tendency to try and bury your ineptitude have concluded this debate, moron.

@OneVoiceMore "When Jones went to work for KBR in Texas, and later for its subsidiary, Overseas Administrative Services, she signed contracts containing mandatory binding arbitration clauses, which required her to give up her right to sue the companies and any right to a jury trial. Instead, the contracts forced Jones to press her case through private arbitration, which she did in 2006".

@starcrafter13terran Upon careful inspection, I think you were assuming that I was the original poster. The "yes" at the start of my reply was in response to Cuses' rhetorical question ("are you so blinded by partisanship..."), and I can see how a quick scan over all the comments would cause you to think I was saying "yes" as a direct response (i.e., "yes, I am blinded by partisanship!

They also managed to "lose" some of the rape kit. Given the circumstances, does anyone seriously believe that misplacing evidence that could have been used to potentially identify and convict KBR employees was an honest mistake?
This isn't a conservative or liberal issue. Arbitration agreements don't extend to being gang-raped. That's NOT a risk of the job (which is what the agreement covers). If they thought it was, why did they put her in mostly-male barracks when she despite her concerns?
raj1037 2 years ago 8
Whilst it's true that KBR didn't technically rape the woman, she complained to them about living conditions which certainly facilitated the rape. Moreover, KBR tried to cover up the rape and they kept her locked up, how can you even say that KBR is not responsible.
