No one who thinks about this will consider the headline or some of the comments below to be accurate.

I support Franken's amendment. But lets face it – this is an amendment to an appropriations Bill. There may be plenty of reasons one would vote against a Bill even if one agreed with this particular amendment. So saying a 'no' vote automatically counts as a vote against protecting women from rape is simply dishonest.

I am so tired of media only covering whatever side they are for. I enjoy watching FOX news but it's clear they are not as fair and balanced as they claim. This story should be covered on every network. I am a soldier in the US Army with a wife intrested in working for KBR. After I read up on this incident I will refuse for her to do any work overseas. If she had been my wife I would have been on the first flight to her location to (express) my feelings to the KBR contractors. This story disgust, and upsets me that these things happen. My next stop is to the Fox website to give them a piece of my mind.
