Selective Enforcement in Iraq

An Army contractor is being charged with a stabbing that occurred in Iraq. That's a good thing, it's high time that contractors on the ground in Iraq are being held to account for criminal acts.

But it begs the question as to why the Army is not interested in prosecuting sexual assaults by contractors in Iraq. Could it be that the Army regards rape of Americans in Iraq by other Americans as part of the "shit happens" attitude that Rumsfeld once proclaimed?

Considering how Bush likes to repeatedly refer to the "rape rooms" used by Saddam's kids, it's mighty curious why the Bush Administration has not made it a priority to stop the entire country from become a rape room used by the Army and KBR to brutalize both American and Iraqi women.

  1. You gotta understand that evil is only evil when others do it. It is NOT evil when it is being done under the auspices of shrub and his minions.
