Sex charge hits British Embassy in Iraq

BAGHDAD (UPI) -- Several Iraqi employees in the British Embassy in Baghdad have charged a culture of sexual harassment, abuse and bullying exists in the facility.

One of the complainants, a middle-aged cleaner, told the Times of London a British contractor with KBR, a private contractor hired to maintain the embassy premises, offered to double her daily pay if she would spend the night with him.

She said she refused and was subsequently fired.

The Iraqis accuse the embassy of leaving the abuse unchallenged and failing adequately to respond to complaints against several British managers for KBR. The company was allowed to conduct its own inquiry, the paper said.

A British Foreign Office spokesman said the office is satisfied after discussing the matter at length with KBR.

let us stand for good, as this is war on terror we are there for! Let good reignin Iraq, please!
The only way to do this, or achieve it, is to have a chapel or church inside the green zones, with priests or chaplains, to minister to the people's spiritual needs.In wars like these, we need spiritual solace and nourishment, and the evil spirit is doing a great job tempting the leaders themselves.Let us use prayer as our weapon in protecting them and our soldiers from the evil forces that will mean our sure defeat, if they give in!Let us stay close to righteousness and cleanness of hearts, by our daily prayers for our brethren who are in the war zones!If only I am young and healthy, I will volunteer to be a prayer warrior, over there!

It is rather absurd to note that the self-proclaimed saints who went to Iraq to be custodians of Law have turned themselves into beasts .Their mission was good intentioned . I appeal to them to clean house and lid it of these few individuals who are turnishing their good name . Dr.Kasule Samuel
