They kept her in a shipping container. She borrowed a mobile from one of her captors and phoned her Dad in the US, who then phoned his Congressman, who called the State Department, who finally flew out and got her out. She was medically examined and vaginal/anal rape was confirmed.

In the interview with the Congressman I heard last night, the names and current locations of the alleged perps have remained unnamed by Justice, despite repeated inquiries. I imagine they had received an unpleasant phone call from the Actual President (and actual CEO of Haliburton, for that matter).

From the OP link:

"Legal experts say Jones' alleged assailants will likely never face a judge and jury, due to an enormous loophole that has effectively left contractors in Iraq beyond the reach of United States law."

So, in other words, the US can be the World's Policeman and incarcerate whomever it wants, torture whomever it wants, but it can't prosecute American citizens on American government contracts breaking American law and committing crimes against other Americans!

It's getting beyond belief.
