I saw this report yesterday at Rising Hegemon and Tbogg, the third instance I recall of someone alleging sexual assault by Halliburton employees (I posted about a different allegation here; Jamie Lee Jones has testified in Congress about her own horrific ordeal).
Even more outrageous is the reaction from Halliburton and US District Court Judge Gray Miller, the former demanding private arbitration instead of criminal charges, the latter blithely going along for the ride Alternet gets straight to the point:
The notion that sexual assault cannot be tried as a criminal matter but has to be arbitrated in secret arbitration and treated as a labor dispute is simply beyond belief.
Halliburton and Miller would have gotten along just fine in Saddam Hussein's Iraq.
