Down the Rabbit Hole

A group of 256 Iraqis originally sued CACI International in 2004 accusing the company of committing war crimes, crimes against humanity, sexual assault, participating in torture and a variety of other allegations at Abu Ghraib prison.

Publicity around the torture, fueled by graphic pictures of soldiers and contractors humiliating Iraqi detainees, led to calls for US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld’s resignation and is widely considered one of the most disgraceful events of the US war in Iraq.

A federal judge dismissed the prisoners’ case in June 2013, ruling that because the alleged abuse took place overseas the US District Court in Alexandria, Virginia had no jurisdiction.

But that was not good enough for CACI.

CACI has now filed suit against prisoners who accused the company of wrongdoing in 2004, asking the accusers to pay a $15,580 bill for legal expenses.

What nightmare world have we entered?

And just as a side note....they filed this suit in 2004, and it took the US government until 2013 to decide to rule that the court didn't have jurisdiction?

And...a US contractor overseas cannot be held to account for its actions in a US court?

We have not simply lost our compass, we have gone down the rabbit hole where the laws of nature that dictate the activity of a compass are nonexistent.
