When Margaret Mead famously said “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has,” I’m sure even she couldn’t have envisioned a young woman named Jamie Leigh Jones. As a 20-year-old, Jamie experienced some of the worst horrors one could imagine but rather than cower in the corner feeling helpless and defeated, she has used that experience to change the world.
After a 6-year battle, Jamie’s lawsuit finally has begun (with opening statements today) against military contractor KBR, a former Halliburton subsidiary. As we’ve noted here before, Jamie filed suit for a 2005 gang-rape and other horrendous acts committed against her by the company and some of its employees while she was working in Iraq.
Finish reading this article here or just google Jamie Leigh Jones. There's been a ton of press on this case, deservingly.
