Holding Government Accountable
The Jamie Leigh Foundation is a non-profit organization formed to aid United States citizens who work for the government outside the U. S. who become victims of crimes by other U. S. citizens. The founder's name is Jamie Leigh Daigle who worked for Halliburton and was sent to Iraq in 2005 for the company. She was allegedly drugged and raped within four days of her arrival in Iraq by her coworkers at Halliburton/KBR (Kellogg Brown & Root). Nobody has been charged. The rape kit went missing after being handed over to KBR security officers (who was the idiot that allowed them to get it in the first place?) and then recovered with important pieces of evidence missing. The government has done nothing to bring this to trial or give this woman any justice at all. KBR, of course, is pushing for arbitration so none of this gets out into the public as it would with a trial.

It's no wonder that our kids today aren't held accountable enough for their actions with teens beating other teens and other crimes by children across the nation seeming to go up (and that may just be because of the internet and the swiftness in which information can be sent now), but it seems that enough adults aren't being held accountable for their actions either.
