Mary Beth Kineston, an Ohio resident who went to Iraq to drive trucks,thought she had endured the worst when her supply convoy was ambushed inApril 2004. After car bombs exploded and insurgents began firing on the roadbetween Baghdad and Balad, she and other military contractors were savedonly when Army Black Hawk helicopters arrived. But not long after theambush, Ms. Kineston said, she was sexually assaulted by another driver, whoremained on the job, at least temporarily, even after she reported theepisode to KBR, the military contractor that employed the drivers. Later,she said she was groped by a second KBR worker. After complaining to thecompany about the threats and harassments endured by female employees inIraq, she was fired.
