HOUSTON — A federal judge has set a 2011 trial date for a lawsuit from a Texas woman alleging she was gang-raped by co-workers while employed by a Halliburton Co. subsidiary in Iraq.

During a Tuesday court hearing, the date for Jamie Leigh Jones’ case was set for Feb. 7, 2011.

Jones sued Halliburton and its former subsidiary KBR, saying she was raped while working for KBR at Camp Hope, Baghdad, in 2005.

The Associated Press usually doesn’t identify people alleging sexual assault, but Jones’ face and name have been broadcast in media reports and on her own Web site.

The companies contended Jones’ contract required claims against them be settled through arbitration. In September, an appeals court ruled her claims can go to trial. (click HERE for original article)

   I wish nothing but for the best possible out-come for this lady. What she endured is beyond comprehension in a civilized world – even if it happened in a war-zone. It reminds me of something we have all heard or read that Saddam or his two sons might have done.

   I don’t believe that there is a “Statute of Limitations” on Rape. I bet that those responsible for doing what they did to this Lady, will be haunted each day that passes until the long arm of the law comes to provide them with two new bracelets/handcuffs.

     Angel? What a nice thing to say!! It gave my husband a good chuckle. He says it’s hard to see the angel wings because the devil horns block the view! LOL
