If you get into a car accident with someone driving a Ford truck, and it was the other driver's fault, do you fault the person or do you go after Ford Motor Co?
Islander started a good point....we can keep it going. You go after the individual, pretty much regardless of the situation. You don't blame Haliburton for "empowering" the individual b/c of some contractual clause. They were simply trying to absolve themselves of blame given the conditions and circumstances of the situation. Since they are working in what is essentially a 3rd world country, who is going to do the investigating? Iraqi police?
I still say - yes, tragic situation - but she should have read the fine print. She said herself that she read it but "didn't understand it" - so can I spill McDonalds coffee on my lap and then claim "well, I read that it was 'Hot', but I didn't know what that meant, so I put it between my legs and kept driving".
A crime is a crime, but who's jurisdiction does this fall under? As was stated earlier, Haliburton isn't law enforcement....
