If the KBR rape story was not bad enough...conservatives find a way to switch it up to 11.

The KBR story is horrible. The story of a woman raped, and then detained by her employees to keep her quiet. Of her begging her guard for a phone so she can call her dad in the States to tell him what has happened to her. There is nothing good here.

But some conservative bloggers have stepped up to kick the victim back onto the ground. Don't you love those pious traditionalist.

Crooks and Liars:

Others might have been taken in by the sheer, overwhelming “factiness” of the Jamie Leigh Jones rape/kidnapping/extortion case, but not the Heroes of the Wingnut State. John Swift (satire, but still) takes up the tale:

… Indeed, if the terrorists wanted to undermine the war effort and destroy Western Civilization as we know it, this would be the perfect way to do it. Find an intelligent, attractive young woman to claim she was gang raped by contractors who work at the Vice President’s company, and then get a Republican congressman and the State Department to back up part of her story. It’s brilliantly evil and almost foolproof! There was just one thing these clever terrorists didn’t count on: bloggers like Shackleford, Curt and Ace who would see right through their fiendish plan. …

Jon Swift has links to the right wing bloggers in question, as we don’t like to link them here, ahem….

Left or Right, this kind of treatment is not acceptable.
