Via FDL: If KBR/Halliburton could be more vile, it's hard to see how. WARNING: click only if you're prepared to be sickened/incoherent with rage.

A brief and quite restrained response behind the cut. )

I know.

No warning is really adequate, and nothing I could say felt vehement enough without sounding like I was advocating or threatening violence.

There was a comment by QuakerGirl at FDL that made me think:

...When I lived in Bali rape didn’t exist. It didn’t exist because the men in the culture saw it as a male problem and they went after the man or men who committed this act. Men were disgraced. The rape victim went through a ceremony by the priests and was made whole again. She was not disgraced. The offenders were banished and their families felt the shame by the entire community. What a deterrent! There is no way America society will change so women need to drive the demand for justice.
She may be right about American society as a whole, but I'd like to think maybe we could begin to turn that tide, but the shame where it belongs ( ... )
