Women come forward about being raped by KBR in Iraq-4/4

EXCLUSIVE...In Their First Joint Interview, Two Ex-KBR Employees Say They Were Raped by Co-Workers in Iraq
Another female employee of the military contractor KBR has come forward with allegations of rape in Iraq. The woman, identified by the pseudonym "Lisa Smith," says two colleagues raped her at a southern Iraqi military base in January. She says a supervisor told her to "keep quiet" or face danger. "Lisa Smith" will be testifying publicly tomorrow before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Last year, former KBR employee Jamie Leigh Jones sued KBR and its former parent company Halliburton after she says she was drugged and gang-raped by employees of the company in Baghdad. Today, in their first joint interview, we speak to both of these women, who have bravely come forward with their stories. We also speak with journalist Karen Houppert, who broke the story of "Lisa Smith" in The Nation magazine. [includes rush transcript]
