Brian Ross, Maddy Sauer & Justin Rood Report:

Exclusivenopr_mn The Department of Justice declined to prosecute a State Department employee who allegedly sexually assaulted a female Halliburton/KBR worker in Iraq, despite a recommendation from the State Department that he be charged, according to an internal document obtained by ABC News.

Ali Mokhtare, who is still employed by the State Department, was investigated in 2005 after a female Halliburton/KBR employee said he sexually assaulted her at the company-run camp in Basra, Iraq. Mokhtare was a diplomatic official in Basra who first came to Iraq as a Farsi translator interviewing detainees.

This guy did not rape her! The faster a woman says , "No" the less violated she gets, period. If a woman (or man) says no, respectfully one should stop the consensual sex and retreat. What this woman did was wait until her shirt was being unbuttoned before she said , "No" However, once she said , "No" this MAN quickly ceased what he was dong. This is not rape and is not anything but a man following the laws, and stopping short of hurting someone who has asked him to stop. This stuff happens everyday in America, what's the problem? Is everyone a rapist? I don't think so, but this is what our lovely feminists/sexists wantus to think, I don't see what they gain, except a loss of respect from men. Men who gave women the rights they currently enjoy! Civilization: Man's greatest gift to women, yet the least appriciated by our protected class."

MEN did not GIVE women their rights; just as WHITES did not GIVE BLACKS theirs. WHITE MEN's hands were forced by progressive thinkers and economic realities to enumerate their inherent GOD GIVEN HUMAN RIGHT OF EQUAL TREATMENT!!
