Stephanie Mencimer of Mother Jones has a detailed follow -- Cheney: No Justice for Jamie Jones -- on the alleged gang-rape of Jamie Leigh Jones by fellow Halliburton/KBR employees while she was stationed in Iraq. The story provides more details about Halliburton's employee contract limiting her legal rights and forcing her into arbitration instead. Excerpt:

At the time of the alleged attack on Jones, KBR was a subsidiary of Halliburton, the behemoth military-contracting and oil-technology firm. (KBR was sold off earlier this year.) So Jones is covered by the Halliburton dispute-resolution program, which was implemented when Cheney was Halliburton's CEO. The system bears the markings of Cheney's obsession with secrecy and executive power. On his watch, Halliburton, in late 1997, made it more difficult for its employees to sue the company for discrimination, sexual harassment, and other workplace-related issues.
