Yesterday I used the metaphor of our country being raped by the current administration and its policies. Today I add and quote the following from an article by Steven Benen from the Carpetbagger report. It begins: "Back in December, we learned the painful story of Jamie Leigh Jones, who says she was gang-raped by Halliburton/KBR coworkers in Baghdad. Jones filed a lawsuit, arguing that she had been raped by "several attackers who first drugged her, then repeatedly raped and injured her, both physically and emotionally." The complete article offers the concrete example.
Diplomatic immunity is problematic enough, but this administration cannot be held responsible for it. Written in 1961, it should be considered for revision under conditions of sexual violations, especially with children. In an article which describes some instances as 'impunity' rather than immunity, we can see some outrageous situations about which nothing more is done than creating another helpless victim.
