		<description>MS Sparky,, The above comment is what most people who were at the base(JBB)when the alleged crime (rape)occured..  The time and incident didnt make sense.. One of the DPM&#039;s held a all hands meeting(I was there)about the rape incident and admitted to several faults in the information coming from the alleged victim. I still have a copy of the BOLO poster..</description>

		<description>There is an active and ongoing FBI investigation and I can&#039;t give anymore information than what I already have. As soon as he is in custody I will be able to blog more about this.</description>

		<description>I can&#039;t seem to reply to your comment, so I&#039;m replying to mine. How do we know that he got out? Did somebody identify him later? Who?

My belief is that there&#039;s something wrong with the witness&#039;s description of events. Maybe she did not injure her assailant in the manner she described, so we were all looking for the wrong guy. Or maybe somebody whom she didn&#039;t want to implicate battered her, so she gave the SF a false description.

I don&#039;t know how KBR was required to account for their TCNs (if indeed the attacker was a KBR TCN). I do know that we had to submit a report every eight hours apprising the Air Force of the locations of our people. So again, the idea of KBR smuggling the guy out is highly improbable, for multiple reasons.</description>

		<description>TJ-I appreciate your comment. Can you explain to me how he did get out of the country then when every ECP was actively looking for him? Because he did get out.</description>

		<description>The comment about the Air Force not inspecting everyone is not completely accurate. I worked with SOC USA providing security at Balad at the time of the assault, so I was tangentially involved with the investigation. The Air Force SF did not wait for KBR to produce employees for inspection but went around actively looking, to the point where they were stopping buses carrying TCNs to look for a suspect with defensive wounds. I can&#039;t guarantee that they went through every single TCN, but they certainly tried. 

Neither the Air Force nor SOC ever came across any suspects who had the facial and hand wounds that the victim described. The idea that KBR managed to somehow smuggle this guy out eight days later when every ECP was actively looking for him is laughable.</description>

		<description>Hello NOT Bucca,

You are a bit naive&#039; aren&#039;t you and you didn&#039;t read everything I wrote. 

I said proximity locks on all the women&#039;s rooms and lockers. and deadbolts. She would have then had enough warning to make a cup of coffee and wait for him to break in and then empty the clip into his body. 

Also, allow the women to go to the range 3 times a week and fire 100 rounds at each session. Mandatory clip change practice so they can change a clip in 2/10th of a second and pump the other clip into the perps buddy. 

The women should be seen coming and going from the range with their targets in hand. 

BODYBAGS not bucca. That will end the rapes. 

Pile those body bags near the DFAC until they can drag them off-base. That will be an effective deterrent. 

Arm them up and give them lots of clips. I am waiting for a few of these ladies to bag some jerk-offs with some big knives. Don&#039;t let them live ladies. If you have to go defend yourself, make sure that threat is no longer moving. Send a message to the commander of the base that you would rather use a gun, but a knife will do too. 

Send a requisition in for 5 body bags and then dare the stupid ones to try their luck. 

Got it now not Bucca?</description>

		<description>Someone from Iraq just sent me an anonymous email stating the Army CID has reopened (the once closed) criminal investigation into the alleged evidence tampering by KBR Security Officers in the Anna Mayo rape case. 

Due to the fact I am not on the email distribution list for all the Army CID updates there is not way to confirm that. 

What I can say it I sent my report to everyone I could think of including Army CID Commander Brigadier General Colleen L. McGuire.

I can only hope the Army CID has reopened this investigation. If the CID finds there was in fact evidence tampering, I hope they take it all the way to the top including Ron Allen and Kenly Nifong. I hope the DoJ actually files charges.

And most importantly, I hope this rapist that KBR let get away is found and extradited back to the US to stand trial for his crimes.

If anyone can confirm this reopened CID investigation let us know. And if you have information regard this crime please come forward. I can help you get in touch with the CID and/or Anna&#039;s attorney.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m all for arming the OCONUS &quot;workforce&quot; not just females.  That&#039;s been a mantra since the beginning back in 03 but I realize you better watch what you ask for.  Most of thes idiots, male and female would probably go postal.  Maybe we need you back in the saddle and approve it.  Besides, we are talking about a female who was assaulted while she slept.  The guy tried to kill her so if she had her sidearm on the night stand I&#039;m sure he would have used it after he was done with her instead of the stangulation.  Got to love the Brits, though</description>

		<description>Poor excuse not to arm these women. The same proximity locks can be programed that the idiot who walks into the women&#039;s shower could be used to keep him from getting his ass blown off. 

DCMA need to procure these and it could eliminate the target appearing in the first place. But for those who do want to be targets (and ladies, just treat them like a target) There is not excuse in this technological age where there are secure rooms not to treat these women as an equal to Classified documents. Cipher-locks, and the IT system that goes along with it. The back-up on failure of that system is what has been protecting American since our inception - guns. Let them have their equalizers. Train them to identify if the threat needs to be killed or not. Make them proficient and deadly. The problem is the 100 - 200 incidents per week that are probably giving these women their own extra dimension of PTSD that men don&#039;t face. Maybe, even when they get back to civilian life in the States, they will carry that extra skill with them and it will pay off to protect them. Right now, there are 4-Star Generals with there heads buried and ignoring these women. Send in Rolling Stone Magazine to ask why the provision is there and they ( who are equally responsible ) are sitting on their asses when the answer is available to these women under the 2nd Amendment in the States and on the bases under &quot;Arming the Contractor&quot; in the Prime Contract. I am sure these women are going to be responsible shooters and will hit their targets. I have seen women, right along with fumbling men manage clip changes blind-folded in an hour of practice. There are no good arguments to leaving these women without personal firearm protection - except good old fashion ignorance. - Are you British by the way where the citizens stood by and were disarmed without a whimper? Just wondering.</description>

		<description>In regards to arming females, I think we all need to take a collective breath and think &quot;what if&quot;; what if the hundreds of times that some Billeting or O&amp;M Expat/TCN walks into a female or males room because of incompetence,  forgetting to knock on the door  or whatever, and the female or male blows the TCN/Expat away.  Heck, we couldn&#039;t get our driver&#039;s weapons so I think we need to put the arming of females issue to bed for now.  It just isn&#039;t practical unless they are outside the wire.  I think it&#039;s also important to make mention that the e-mail sent out by the LTC was mostly legit however, at the time there was talk of someone doctoring up the message and the part of the sexual assault ratio and that was acknowledged by command staff at the time (someone may be able to shed light if I’m right or wrong on this).  But, most importantly, in reference to this specific issue, how&#039;s the girl doing?  I mean she was beaten into pulp and must be traumatized for life and may never mentally recover.  How is she doing?  How are all the other females in Iraq, past and present doing?  Just look at all the Billeting Managers who have been fired for sexual type flagrancies of walking into females rooms, key control (lack of), harassing females and trying to get something in exchange for &quot;favors&quot; like putting a female in a place closer to work, with a shower etc.  Who remembers the C Sites incident and the G Site Billeting Mgr, going through girls rooms and masturbating while the girls were away from the room.  They found a freaking Vaseline jar in his room.  Was he fired?  I doubt.  Maybe all the females should take a class action suit against the company because I’m sure there are volumes and volumes of documents from ER/HR detailing complaints made by people that went unheard or thrown out because it was “he said-she said” .</description>

		<description>There has been a rule in the Prime Contracts to make this available and the Contracting Officers could have allowed this and authorized payment for the training. Symantics. The training to stay proficient to kill the rapist should be practiced so that it is 2nd nature and she can take him out with speed and efficiently take out 2 or 3 if necessary. THEY should be seen telling their male co-workers that they need to take off 2 hours to go to the range to blow some heads off. THEY should be seen walking to the their transportation in front of the Afghanis who are living in the camps and going to the range to blow some heads off. THEY should bring their targets back and tape them on their walls where they live so that it become very apparent at how tight of a group they can put 3- 115 grain bullets. Those ladies should be seen as someone who can defend themselves and with a few body-bags getting packed out - that psychological transition will take place. But a bunch of whiners who think women just cannot kill or shoot is 17th century pilgrim thinking. Heck, I saw in the Green Zone a male Lt Col (Army) NOT take his clip out of his 9, strip back the slide to show to his buddies how cool he could catch a bullet, and then let the slide fly forward and stripped off a fresh round and then, as always, he pulled the trigger to drop the hammer while aiming it a line of people coming out of the U.S. Embassy exit. He pulled the trigger and to his surprise the gun went off. Dumbfounded and wondering how did that happen, he pulled the Beretta from the clearing barrel and was pointing it at the crowd leaving the U.S. Embassy and pulled the trigger 2 more times and luckily on a dud shell. So, dumb things happen - even to men. Let these ladies get proficient. Those would-be rapist will see these ladies clearing their weapons and reloading them and they should always be wondering just how fast she really is and is it worth it to test her. Ladies, you know they may just be wearing body armor - so just above the plate to the neck might be a good place to practice hitting.</description>

		<description>Dear Too Big,

It doesn&#039;t matter who is in charge of KBR or EODT or DCMA. The &quot;stats are the Stats&quot; and it doesn&#039;t change that fact that I believe really we are not looking at 8 - 20 per week but a far higher number and whoever the 4-star is needs, and should have done it already and that is to arm these women by directing DCMA. Did I say there was a suspension of the sexual assault when those 2 names were in. No, this is another DoD pattern of failure that has gone on since 2003 and is continuing to this day at that weekly rate, which is more like 80 - 150 per week throughout the Theaters of Africa, Afghanistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Iraq, -- well you got the picture. Those 2 are guilty for not acting or asking for the real remedy. A weapon and 2 or 3 clips per woman. These ladies will let us know in &quot;stats&quot; of body bags if they are getting a handle on the situation. Gates has failed, All the 4-Stars have failed and DCMA has failed. The LOGCAP are just pandering and will do whatever they are told because it is a cost-plus contract. The losers are the women who have been denied their right to fight back because like everyone in a poor economy. They can help their families at home. Those doubters up there expressing their opinion that these women will freeze up or not be able to hit their targets. I believe they will have some fine shot groupings and they will rack up some of their own body counts. Well Petraeus, what is your problem on this one ? General Petraeus, basically you have failed  on this part of the war and all the PSDs and MPs running around are not going to defend these women. I have it right. If those clowns never wrote a memo to get these women armed and there was just one week of incidents on their watch - I have the names right - I am right on the bulls-eye. A clip per guy - empty it out and find the other guy and by the time she get ready to take out the other one or 2, she will be just getting her shot groupings down. This is the best answer to a systemic problem - body bags.</description>

		<description>Mr. Barnes sounds like he is informed on things but when it comes to leadership he is stating names of leaders who are no longer in charge. Guy LaBoa has left KBR and General Petraus is now in Afghanistan (no longer in charge of CENTCOM). I&#039;m not trying to bash anybody here but if you are going to state facts make sure they are correct.</description>

		<description>Well, there are 43 out of 50 states with not so intensly trained open carrying citizens and I think the point is they have a policy in place that allows them to be Armed. The MPs in 7 years haven&#039;t proteced them.

I trust that they will put the bullets on target and if they can get a solid backstop. Like the LtCol says stats are stats. Well ladies, give him some body bags to keep track of. He talks about rape stats like it is a routine car accident and the stats.

Bottom Line  General Petraues needs to get these women armed and direct DCMA to issue Letters of Technical Direction at all bases to install proximity card locks and cipher-locks. 

Failing that- get the largest knife they sell in the PX in the meantime. 

Otherwise we will ask Rolling Stones to come and ask why you Petraeus and Gates cannot get these women armed for self-protection when there are 75 - 125 sexual assaults per week.</description>

		<description>I have to say honestly, if I had been armed while I was in Iraq there would have been several &quot;accidental&quot; shootings and I wouldn&#039;t have felt bad about it all! :)</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not walking on egg shells. I am actually thinking of the potential rape victims. Even though I have been around weapons all my life it would still be difficult to pull the trigger on another human but I would if necessary. But it is not instinctive it would be a conscious decision. I would think most rapist don&#039;t expect a woman to be trained in the art of self defense so they are not expecting it. I think that would be the most powerful weapon to use against any attacker. 

Personally I think ALL rapists should be sent home in body bags. Let the MP&#039;s do it.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s exactly what I am saying. A weapon in the hands of someone not intensely trained to use it can be used against the victim. If intense training is provided by a professional trainer and there is some sort of qualification program that is another story. I agree we don&#039;t need a bunch of untrained gun toting civilians. Self Defense training should be mandatory. And I&#039;m talking training not a 2 hour class on &quot;OK you all be careful out there!&quot;</description>
